LMNC.ORG I GENERAL SESSIONS Wednesday, June 20, 200 I, 8:45 a.m. I Have Seen the Future and It Works Minnesota Cities Jgleeting the Challenges of F-Government Camille Cares Barnett is both a professional city manager--widely regarded as one of America's most talented--- and a leading national authority on regionalism, sustainability, reinvented government and the application of GIS and other cutting-edge technologies to the problems of government. Most of her 24 years in city management were in the Texas hot spots of Houston, Dallas and Austin. While in Austin, she broke the city manager mold with her customer service orientation, public visibility; emphasis on public participation and her ability to broker the competing interests that maneuver for power. Dr. Barnett now works with regions and public sector clients both nationally and internationally through the Public Strategies Group and the Citistates Group. She specializes in collaborative approaches to smart growth and other issues that cross governmental jurisdictions. Late in 1997, Barnett served as Washington's Chief Management Officer during a period of transition back to home rule for our Nation's Capitol. She focused on restoring quality in the management and delivery of basic services. During her tenure in Austin, Barnett became engaged with regionalism. She challenged the Austin region to think differ- ently, pointing to regionalism as the way Austin could survive and prosper. She has worked with one of the nation's largest not-for-profit research organizations, counseling governments on city government innovations. Her consulting practice focuses on developing and transitioning citistates in eastern Europe and Russia. Thursday, June 2 I, 200 I, 8:30 a.m. The Changing Face of Minnesota Ethnic, demographic and geographic trends are changing the face of Minnesota's populace. In keeping with our conference theme--Change, Challenge, Connect--this year's City Issues Forum will focus on ways local officials can build a stronger sense of community with their changing and increasingly complex citizens. Friday, June 22, 200 I, 9:00 a.m. The Story Behind Excellence Rod Raymona~ Director, Life Fitness Wellness, UMD Triathlete Rod Raymond is the director of the premier university fitness and wellness program in the country, at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. His desire for excellence is second to none. As an accomplished athlete and exceptional teacher, Rod challenges both his body and his spirit. He was selected to compete in two Olympic Trials competitions and was the winner of the prestigious Border-to-Border Triathlon, the Scottish Coast-to- Coast, and the Swiss Gigathlon and Trans Swiss ultra-endurance races. The Statesman Newspaper declares that Rod is one of the most fit ultra-endurance athletes in the world. Rod Raymond believes that life must be lived inside out rather than outside in. His Today Is The Day message has reached thousands of people across the world through seminars and speaking engagements. Rod's experience and knowledge comes from countless hours of research and rigorous physical training and travel, as well as from leading coaches, professional trainers and business leaders. In The Story Behind Excellence, Rod blends three essential ingredients of healthy lifestyle development--three healthful approaches to living that will provide busy elected officials the endurance and positive attitude they need to be effective leaders in their communities. Rod tells us what he's learned about developing the discipline needed to achieve dreams; about the science of portraying positive energy in a world riddled with negativity;, and he shares his secrets for achieving and maintaining optimal health. Rod Raymond's message will inspire Minnesota elected officials to succeed in the marathon of public service, to lead with consistent energ)5 positivity and a healthful attitude!
