- Dr. Donald Palmisano, founder and president of Intrepid Resources, discussed his book, “On Leadership: Essential Principles for Success.” This session included a guided analysis of real-life situations from which participants learned practical methods and strategies for becoming leaders.
- Using the most current data, well-known economist Dr. Loren C. Scott discussed the national recession and the economic status of each region of the state.
- Jennifer Nord Mallard from the American Hospital Association gave a federal update on “What to Expect from the New Administration and Congress.” During this presentation, she discussed the current political environment; immediate issues, including SCHIP and the economic stimulus package; and the AHA’s 2009 advocacy agenda.
- William Slaughter, president of SSA Consultants, covered Blueprint Louisiana’s Healthcare Reform Strategy for 2009. Slaughter said healthcare will be the most critical issue that they take on this year.
