About the Presentation

Mr. Theismann will present a popular keynote topic, ‘Challenge of Change’. He will speak April 7, 2011 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the SPE Thermoset TOPCON. Drawing from personal experience, Joe Theismann delivers an inspiring look at the challenges of change. In 1985 he was a two time Pro Bowl player and the most productive quarterback in the history of the Washington Redskins. That same year a compound fracture to his leg shattered his career and he faced restarting his personal life and professional career. In this presentation, individuals and organizations learn how to manage unforeseen change, as well as the mental outlook necessary for positive results. This high energy presentation will inspire the excellence, leadership and teamwork necessary to the success of today’s changing domestic manufacturing industry.

“We are pleased to offer the opportunity to hear Mr. Theismann deliver his personal story to our TOPCON attendees”, stated Jeffrey Schumm, SPE Thermoset Division Chair. “As we search for ways to grow our businesses in the face of changing times, this game plan for success, if you will, is a timely and relevant discussion that can be applied to today’s composite materials industry.”

Mr. Theismann will attend the SPE Thermoset Division’s sponsored meet and greet cocktail reception April 7, 2011 beginning at 5:30 p.m.
