UPCOMING MEETINGS

March 4, 2010
Peoria

Ron Actis, APR

Management's Last Frontier: A Communications System to Focus and Sustaining a Culture of Achievement.

Ron will discuss the Synchronous Communications Management system presented in his book, Management's Last Frontier: A Communications System to Focus and Sustaining a Culture of Achievement. 

Ron is a Management graduate of the University of Illinois, a former General Motors executive and an accredited member of the Public Relations Society of America.

He was advanced to become Group Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the newly formed GM Automotive Components Group which consolidated 15 divisions and 300,000 employees, around the world, under a new group vice president. The group subsequently was spun-off by GM as Delphi.

He left GM four years later to join Dow Corning as Corporate Manager of External Communications and Community Affairs, and in charge of legal communications regarding Dow Corning's breast implant controversy. He left the company a short time later to start Actis Consulting where he continues as president and CEO.

While at GM, he developed a public relations planning system that became GM's worldwide communications model. He recently had a book published about the system - Management's Last Frontier: A Communications System to Focus and Sustain a Culture of Achievement - which is also being used in college curricula. He is here today to share that system with us and answer any questions we may have.
