Sunday, June 10, :00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pre-Conference Workshop: Athenian Leadership Society Dialogue Shackleton s Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer by Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell (6 CMC/MMC education hours) $100 plus purchase of book; lunch on your own. Sir Ernest Shackleton has been called the greatest leader that ever came on God s earth, bar none for saving the lives of the 27 men stranded with him in the Antarctic for almost two years. Today, the public can t get enough of this once-forgotten explorer, and his actions have made him a model for great leadership and masterful crisis management. Now, through anecdotes, the diaries of the men in his crew and Shackleton s own writing, Shackleton s leadership style and time-honored principles are translated for the modern business world. Written by two veteran business observers and illustrated with ship photographer Frank Hurley s masterpieces and other rarely seen photos, Shackleton s Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer helps today s leaders follow Shackleton s triumphant example. Join us for a lively and insightful discussion of how Shackleton resonates with leaders from all walks of life and how his peoplecentered approach to leadership can be seen in many modern day leadership studies, including Kouzes & Posner s The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. Athenian Leadership Society Dialogues are limited to a minimum of 10 participants and a maximum of 18 participants per session on a first-come, first-served basis. Each dialogue is worth three CMC or MMC education points with the completion of a knowledge assessment. Participants are required to purchase and read the book prior to the session. Due to the prework involved (reading the book), on-site registrations are not allowed. Please indicate on the conference and academy registration form if you would like to register for the pre-conference session and include the session registration fee in your total.

16 F A CC Florida Education Fund FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF CITY CLERKS PLEDGE CARD In February 2013, the Board approved creating the Florida Education Fund (FEF) to raise funds for FACC s professional education programs and protect training investments. FEF will be used solely and exclusively for the purpose of providing highly sought after facilitators, such as Suze Orman (who was a homerun during the 2012 Summer Conference and Academy), and other highly sought after professional education professionals and programs that may far exeed our association budget. The FEF will be funded through district donations of Florida Clerks, supporting agencies, individuals, corporations, or bequeaths and endowments similar to the IIMC Education Foundation. The fund was established as a Revenue Fund and can only be used for FACC educational offerings not the general budget. The intent of FEF is to supplement the current educational budget not offset the current budgeted funds. To recognize and thank our donors annually, in April a list of contributors will appear in the Weekly Newsletter and in the Summer Conference and Academy program. Please check box: $5.00 (Friend) $10.00 (Silver) $25.00 (Gold) Name: Address: Zip: Phone: $50.00 (Diamond) $ (Platinum) Other City: Cell: May check payable to FACC and send to: Florida Association of City Clerks P.O. Box 1757 Tallahassee, FL *NOTE: Due to FACC s IRS tax status, donations are not tax deductable; however, the benefits of the high-level education and highly sought after trainers will far outweigh the tax benefits.
