ICPF Meeting


As I sit and reflect on the ICPF teleconference meeting negative thoughts come to mind. First off, the location of the meeting wasn’t very accommodating being that the temperature in the room was very warm. Secondly, the presentations that were given by the presenters didn’t catch my attention. My opinion is that the presenters didn’t try to connect with the audience whom they were presenting to. However, there was one incidence in which I got involved during the teleconference, when one of my fellow colleagues got up and presented an idea that he and his group designed for a contest. I feel that he did a great job creating his idea as well as describing it to the judging panel. If I was a judge I would have definitely chose his package over some of the higher winners, but he did a good job anyway despite his placing in the competition. I feel that his placement in this competiton was because the judging panel may have had some bias opinons.

If I could give this teleconference committee some advice, I would tell them to talk to their presenters, let them know that they should try to relate to their audience more. I realize that the information isn’t that exciting, but I feel that a better effort on the presenter’s part would help this teleconference out tremendously.
