Morning Keynote:

Leadership and Accountability When It Matters

Commander Kirk Lippold, Inspirational Leader and Commander of the USS Cole

The privilege and burden of leadership comes with a level of accountability that many aspire to emulate and anyone can rise up to and achieve. Using a devastating suicide terrorist attack as a backdrop, Commander Lippold conveys how the bedrock principle of integrity created an environment for leadership where his crew felt imbued with a sense of ownership as they seized the opportunity to be responsible for their ship and not just their jobs. Their own sense of personal accountability and leadership proved to be a guiding principle in the crucible of combat.



Lunch Keynote:

Georgia's Story: Demographics and Predicting the Future

Mathew Hauer, Public Service Assistant, Governmental Services and Research, Carl Vinson Institute of Government

Georgia - and our nation - are experiencing major demographic, social, educational and economic shifts. If government is to prepare for the Georgia of tomorrow, leaders must understand and adjust to these shifts. Matt Hauer, demographer and Public Service Assistant with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government,  will give you insights into what Georgia looked like 30 years ago, what the Georgia  of tomorrow may look like, and more importantly, what it means to the state’s leaders.
