Transportation Safety Conference

Schedule

The 2010 Oregon Transportation Safety Conference will be held October 12 - 14, 2010.

This year the ODOT 2010 Grantee Workshop will be on Monday, October 11th. The conference will begin Tuesday, October 12th at 9:00 am.

We look forward to opening the conference with this year’s keynote speaker, Gordon Graham, Graham Research Consultants.

As we enter the 21st century, the public sector is being analyzed like never before.  Customer service has always been important, but now the survival of any public sector organization is dependant on maximizing this concept on each and every contact. Gordon will discuss the “Who, What, Why, When, Where, How and How Often” of this important topic.

Gordon will also be presenting two workshops. The first is titled, “Ethical Decision Making”. Many people have never been taught how to make a decision and what needs to be considered in the process. Gordon will share his ten-step process and rules for improving decision making and demonstrate a technique to make better, ethical decisions.  

Gordon will also present a workshop titled, “The Top Ten Things that get Cops in Trouble”.  This title speaks for itself. The program will identify the top ten things that get department personnel in trouble.

Keep an eye on the conference section of the ACTS Oregon website for current conference details, schedules, registration, and directions.
