Leadership Development Conference
"LDC Driving Leadership"
Register NOW for the 2010 AIChE Leadership Development Conference which has long been considered a critical resource in the development of future AIChE Leaders. It is an opportunity for leaders from Local Sections, Committees, Divisions, Forums, Operating Councils, and the Board of Directors to develop the skills necessary for success in their elected or appointed positions. It is also the best opportunity to share best practices with leaders from other entities.
This year's Leadership Development Conference will be hosted by the East Tennessee Local Section from June 4-6, 2010 at the Marriott MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, TN.
NOTE: Phone registrations will be accepted on 6/1 by calling AIChE Customer Service at 1-800-242-4363. There will be NO ONSITE registrations.
A special thanks to the 2010 LDC sponsors
