Plenary Sessions

Opening Plenary Session:

Saturday, January 15 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Manage- ment - Disney Style

Walt Disney World Seminar Pro- ductions, a part of the Disney Uni- versity, will present a 90-minute overview of the successful Disney approach to people management.

The seminar will discuss the ways in which Disney instills and encour- ages commitment and pride among more than 35,000 employees. The seminar will help the audience for- mulate strategies to take back and implement in your organization. In this analysis of the Disney manage- ment philosophy, the strategies and techniques behind personnel selec- tion, training, communication and care will be revealed, four keys to developing a work environment that stimulate interest, commitment, quality, productivity and "unity of purpose" among employees.

Monday, January 17 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Grass

Speaker: Michael E. Dunn, president, Michael E. Dunn & As- sociates, Inc.

This session will open with a brief video presentation, "Player's

Guide to Politics," illustrating the effects of an active grassroots pro- gram in influencing public policy.

Immediately following the video will be a panel session of several PVA members and Congressional staff who were involved in advocating the bareboat legislation, H.R. 1159, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

This will be a session involving audi- ence participation and will demon- strate to attendees that PVA mem- bers can make a difference if they get involved. (Continued on page 38)
