Relationships -- A Simple, Powerful Way to Bond with Your Loved Ones Through Personalized Road Trips

Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011, 8:15 to 9:30 a.m., Seminar 1

Families are under siege. Parents are bombarded with 24-hour noise, scary economies, and shrinking leisure time. Children are over-scheduled, over-stimulated, and over-stressed. But, there is a way to reconnect, find quality time, and build the most important aspect of life – loving relationships. Through RelationTrips, author Jeff Siegel provides a practical road map for building enduring family connections and offers wisdom for creating trips filled with adventure, imagination, discovery, and fun. Join Jeff for this lively presentation to learn how to begin creating "RelationTrips" of your own. You'll discover why a road trip is the perfect mobile bonding "vehicle;" how to get started on road trip transformation; how to get the show on the road by mapping out the journey; making creativity a destination; starting the odometer by hitting the road; teachable traveling moments; and the "aftermap" -- how to document your lifelong memories. When not planning an adventure with his son, Jeff is a creative director and independent marketing/communications consultant, working with a broad-based list of Fortune 500 giants. Jeff will be available at the Information Center following his presentation to sign copies of his new book, RelationTrips: A Simple, Powerful Way to Bond with Your Loved Ones Through Personalized Road Trips.

Governor's Travels

Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011, 8 to 9:15 a.m., Seminar 1

After two terms as Governor of the State of Maine, Angus King, F317261, hit the road. Packing his wife and children into their motorhome, he set out on a five-and-a-half-month journey to circumnavigate the United States. Join Angus King for a lively narrative and slide show about his travels after leaving politics. Interspersed with the travelogue, Governor King will reflect on his transition from public office to private life. He's a great storyteller! While Governor of Maine, he was very helpful with the planning of our "Back To Maine" convention at Brunswick in August, 2000, and some of you may have heard him speak at that event. Time will be allowed for questions and answers. Immediately after his presentation you are invited to join him at the Information Center where he will be signing copies of his new book, Governor's Travels - How I Left Politics, Learned To Back Up A Bus, And Found America.
