The Membership Development Conference in Atlanta, Georgia was a huge success. The conference was held on October 15- 17 and there were over 1400 union organizers from the U.S. and Canada in attendance.
On Monday Gene Morrill from the National Labor College gave a great presentation on communicating with unrepresented workers. Organizers were challenged to approach Gene on stage posing as an unrepresented worker and try to persuade him to accept a better life for himself.
On Tuesday my favorite training session was the Developing New Contractors session by Matt Kolbinsky president of Pro Union Consulting, Inc. His company trains union members to become successful union contractors. To date Pro Union Consulting is credited with creating 50 new construction contractors and has set a goal of creating 1000 within 10 years. I have no doubt that this number will be far exceeded.
On Wednesday motivational speaker Gary Zelesky took the stage and challenged everyone to say YES to their passion. If you’ve ever seen Gary, you know just how funny he can be. I purchased his new book when I got home. The book is entitled “The Passion Centered Professional- How to Go from Having Just a Career to Having a Life”. It’s not even out yet and I have no doubt it’s going to be great! I recommend everyone pre-order a copy at his website.
Overall the conference was great! The sound system was amazing. The training sessions were informative and the mood was upbeat.
