PROGRAM  

   The keynote speaker on Tuesday, Jan. 30th will be best-selling author of his autobiography “Staying the Course” and champion in running and in life, Dick Beardsley.  He is a two-time winner of Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth and the winner of the first London Marathon in 1981.  

His topic will be OVERCOMING ADVERSITY.  Life including your work or business can be a series of ups and downs. Nothing can be more demotivating than an individual or organization that reaches the greatest of highs and then falls to the lowest of lows.  Dick personally knows in an incredibly powerful way how this feels and how to climb back up to greatness again, going from world class athlete at the top of his field to confessed drug addict, falling to the depth of the valley.  Dick shares in a personal and poignant way how to get back to the top of the mountain again.  

    Breakout session topics include:

• Hot Legal Topics

• Emerald Ash Borer panel

• Succession Planning

• Landscape Ideas

• Trends in House & Bedding Plants
