June’s monthly meeting is almost a Chattanooga business summit or a who’s who for EWI Chattanooga. This meeting is our executive invitation lunch meeting in addition to our Chapter Representative’s monthly meeting. Our speaker will be C. Stephen Byrum, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Byrum Consulting Group in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He specializes in organizational development and leadership enhancement. Byrum’s primary work involves applying the Hartman Value Profile to work environments and he is currently working with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, an EWI member firm. By using the Profile, organizations are able to recruit stronger persons, assess and develop current employee populations, reduce turnover, and build stronger teams. His success in this arena has helped organizations of many sorts achieve dramatic and lasting improvements. He is presently serving as the President of the Robert S. Hartman Institute for Applied and Theoretical Axiology which is housed at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is the author of 37 books and 100 periodical articles and has over taught for over 25 years at college level institutions. We look forward to sharing Dr. Byrum’s complete bio at our meeting.

This month begins with a search for Representatives to serve on our Chapter Board. Early registration starts this month for Leadership Conference and Annual Meeting (LCAM) held during September 24-26, 2009, in Louisville, KY. If you want to be better connected and among the “movers and shakers,” these are the EWI events and positions to plug into. Look forward to participating in more electrifying results from our Chapter.
