 Kentucky
Society of Certified Public Managers®
The Kentucky Society of Certified Public Managers has jumped into
2004 with a renewed interest in marketing its benefits to CPM graduates
as a means of growing our membership. Society President Glenn Thomas
has also asked each existing member to recruit one new member this
year.
The Society will be providing new social outings for members this
year to allow networking in a less formal atmosphere. Members will
be attending arena football and minor league baseball events with
their families this spring, and plans are underway for a weekend
cookout this summer. We have also initiated a canned food drive
where members can donate non-perishable items at quarterly guest
speaker luncheons and the fall professional seminar. Donations will
be provided to a local food bank.

Governor Julian M. Carroll receives honorary membership
from 2004 KSCPM President Glenn Thomas.
|
Julian M. Carroll, Governor of the Commonwealth from 1976 to 1980,
received a warm welcome by both members and guests that attended
the March luncheon.
Nearly half the Society membership listened while Governor Carroll
talked about his days as the chief executive of the Commonwealth
and some of the situations he had to face in that position. From
being known as the ‘Blackboard Governor’ for his tendency
to use one to work out strategies with top state officials in the
basement of the mansion, to picnics on the front lawn of the Capitol
for state workers, it was all part of making everyone feel as if
they were part of the ‘team’. Governor Carroll also talked
about decisions to abolish all paper forms in state government during
his tenure to allow for new ideas and new ways to perform day-to-day
activities.
"Face up to a situation and do what’s right and you’re
going to come out all right." was a key concept that the Governor
mentioned when facing management issues in state government.
Governor Carroll took questions from audience members and addressed
issues ranging from appropriate work attire and levels of bureaucracy
to existing budgetary issues. He stressed the importance of supporting
Governor Fletcher and his team as they work to understand the state
system.
Governor Carroll was invited to become a member of ‘our team’
and as such was presented an honorary membership in KSCPM and an
engraved clock for his many years of dedicated public service.
