Finally, on Tuesday, May 15, 2007, at the Courtyard Boston Foxboro, Foxboro, MA, Yankee IABC will present Engaging Managers to Become Great Communicators: A Case Study. Organizational communicators know that, for employees, managers are the most credible, preferred source of company information. As such, managers are well-suited to engage employees around company priorities. But how do you first engage managers? Textron Inc., a $12 billion multi-industry company in Providence, has successfully completed a pilot manager communication program. Come hear about the steps they took… and the results. Presenters: Karen Papa, senior vice president, communications, Textron Financial, and Mary Hettinger, president, Beyond Words.
