[email protected] Annual Seminar Facing the Future - Together On Friday, March 14, 2014, the Gadsden Chapter hosted its Annual Seminar. The guest presenters were Bonnie Powell and Daniel Sherrouse. This year we had two sessions titled “FISH” and “Transitions in Technology.” Bonnie was able to share with us the model behind the “FISH” program. The concepts covered were Play, Make Their Day, Be There and Choose Your Attitude in order to make our company or department an engaging environment. This session was fun and interactive for everyone.

Daniel was given the opportunity to provide us hands-on training with the latest technology used within the office environment. Training areas reviewed were Power user shortcuts, Microsoft Office 2013, Windows 7 and 8, “The Cloud” and tips before calling tech support. The information presented during this technology session was very helpful and knowledge was gained. We truly enjoyed both sessions. We would like to thank everyone for attending the seminar and making it a great success. We look forward to seeing everyone next year, as well as, the remaining meetings for 2014.
