More sessions on Tuesday
One speaker in particular that I was interested in was Tony Manos. I met him at the World Conference in Milwaukee in 2006, and have spoken with him since then, but have never gotten the opportunity to hear him actually speak. The topic was Value Stream Mapping in the Office and Support Functions. I was glad that I did make it to the presentation. I am very interesting in the topic, and I have lots of notes to take home.
The other session I was particularly interested in was Applying Lean Six Sigma to Environmental Management. Some of what I do in my job relates to environmental management, so I was very interested to see what Steve Babb would present.
I also spent quite a bit of time wandering the exhibit hall, and connected with Cathy Krier from Medtronic in the career area. While I am not looking for a job, Cathy and I had a great conversation about women's technical organizations, and it was also nice to connect with someone from my area who knows many of the same people that I do in her company.
The evening kicked off with the President's Reception, and it was nice to see many of the past presidents there, as well as spending some time with friends. This was followed by the banquet, and an inspiring speech by the incoming chair Roberto Saco.
It is hard to believe that our time in Houston is coming to an end already!
