But in which direction are we turning? What are we becoming? Can we be strong again? Chris Trimble says, "Yes!" -- if business leaders are ready to roll up their sleeves and step up. From his experience in the U.S. Navy, a decade of research and working shoulder-to-shoulder with corporate leaders such as Microsoft and GE, the Dartmouth business professor will discuss the role of business in helping our economy recover.<br/></p> <br/><br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-right: 6px; vertical-align: top;"><img src="images/photo_putnam.jpg" alt="Adam Putnam" style="border: solid 1px #000000;"></td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <h3>Rep. Adam Putnam, <i style="font-weight: normal;">Awards Luncheon</i></h3> <p>Fifth-generation Floridian Adam Putnam made headlines when he became one of the youngest members of Congress in history at 26. In the years since, he has put to work the common-sense values he learned growing up in a farming family. Putnam spearheaded improvements to a wide array of laws affecting Floridians, from agriculture and children to small business and Social Security. He has served as a member of the committees on Agriculture, Budget, Government Reform, and the powerful committee on Rules. Now a candidate for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture, Putnam will provide his perspective on the future of Florida agriculture.</p> </td> </tr> </table> <br clear="all"/> </div> </td> <td id="sidebar"> <a class="nav" href="default.asp">Home</a><br /> <a class="nav" href="forums.htm">Issues Forums</a><br /> <a class="navon" href="keynote.htm">Keynote Speaker</a><br /> <a class="nav" href="activities.htm">Activities</a><br /> <a class="nav" href="events.htm">Schedule of Events</a><br /> <a class="nav" href="sponsors.htm">Sponsors</a><br /> <a class="nav" href="accommodations.htm">Hotel</a><br /> <div id="contact"><img src="images/logo_footer.png" alt="www.FFVA.com (321) 214-5200"/></div> </td> </tr></table> </div> </body> </html>
