To assist in your planning (and ours) we have identified the target dates for seminars in 2010. (Replaces all earlier versions.)

Due to the special agreement we have with our faculty the exact date and faculty member will occasionally change within a month of the event. We allow them to trade dates with our other faculty members whenever a travel or fee conflict arises. I have the same agreement with them when I’m speaking in their cities.

Here are the targeted seminar dates for your planning:

(Note: Locations will vary yet all will be in an easily accessed local area venue.*)

As you can see there will be seven seminars per year plus any special events we put together for you. Please let us know your preferences as to time of day, day of the week, etc. and we will do our best to accomodate the majority of members. As always we will either provide learning materials and recordings from the speakers for those who didn’t attend or who want additional information. And we will be looking for ways to Up-Serve you by adding value for you in ways you hadn’t expected.

Please let us know if you’d like to host one of these events and if you have any gifts, promotional items or other values you’d like to provide to our attendees. Our list of bonus gifts grows daily. Help us reach the point where we need to produce a catalog of gifts and discounts that all members receive.

* Organizations who have stepped forward to express their desire to host some of these events include:

Current Sponsors who are providing goods or services for the series include:

It is our goal at 101 Leaders Institute to truly serve you and to raise the optimism, creativity, and levels of initiative throughout this region.
