Mark your
calendars! The Kansas CPM Society invites you to visit
us in June 2004, when we host the 16th Annual AACPM
Professional Development Conference in Topeka, Kansas.
The conference committees have been busy finalizing all
the details necessary to provide you an educational and
entertaining experience. The conference dates are June
20-23, 2004.
You will be
visiting Kansas during the most beautiful time of the
year. Expect sunny days, blue skies and occasional
cotton candy clouds. Temperatures are generally in the
70’s and 80’s. Gentle breezes whisper across
landscapes decorated with beautiful wildflower blossoms
and – yes - sunflowers! Watch closely, however, so
that you don’t miss any of the beautiful animals that
share this great land with us – horses, cattle,
buffalo, deer, rabbits, birds, and many other critters
will be waiting to surprise you as you travel through
Kansas.
Most of the
educational activities will be held at the Capitol Plaza
Hotel & Convention Center. For the opening session,
we have been invited to meet in the House Chambers of
the Kansas State Capitol. (The City of Topeka web site
has an outstanding virtual tour of the Capitol,
constructed beginning in 1866.) The Conference Speaker
Committee has been working diligently with the AACPM
Board to finalize the speaker selections, so expect more
information soon. Our sessions will offer topics
including: employee relations, conflict resolution,
rewards/recognition, e-mail privacy, leadership,
communication, team building, strategic management, and
change management. You will be impressed with the
quality and diversity of the presentations!
Other
committees have been planning activities that will make
for some enjoyable and memorable evening events. On
Sunday, we will travel by trolley to the Kansas Museum
of History, where you will have a chance to meet with
friends from other states. On that evening, you will
also be able to tour the Kansas Museum of History, with
a guest visit from Amelia Earhart! On Monday evening, we
will treat you to a Wild West Hoedown under the stars,
complete with entertainers and dancing. Tuesday will be
an enchanting celebration, as we travel to OZ and the
"Emerald City" for the awards night. At all
these events, we have planned menus that will feature
Kansas foods from Kansas vendors. We’re even planning
homemade ice cream!
Some web
sites you could visit, as your plan your trip to Kansas:
We are
pleased to announce that the on-line
registration process is now available, as
well as a PDF
format that can be printed and mailed to
us. Please expect the conference brochure to be mailed to
you in February 2004. Otherwise, we will be sending out
other information as developments occur. If you have
questions, or if we can provide more information, please
let us know.
We look
forward to your visit to Kansas!
