As a result, we’ve dedicated sev-eral concurrent sessions to specific regions of the world, educatingyou on the laws, customs and ways in which we, as turnaround professionals, canhelp.

We also wanted to focus on the evolving role of the corporate renewal industry in animproving economy.

KEYNOTE SESSIONSHON. RUDY GIULIANI, Former Mayor of New York City

“Principles of Leadership”SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 8:00 A.M. – 9:30 A.M.Co-sponsored in part by Glass & Associates, Inc. and Jefferies & Co., Inc.During his two terms as mayor, Rudy Giuliani made New York into the great city itonce was with his ideas, management and goal-driven style. In eight years, hereduced crime by 57 percent, cut welfare rolls in half, reduced taxes by $2.5 billionand created a record number of new jobs. Because of his leadership, the city is onceagain a great place to live and one of the world’s most productive metropolises. But

his toughest challenge had yet to come. With the tragic events of September 11, the rest of the worldfound out what New Yorkers already knew — that Rudy Giuliani was a determined leader who could bringthem remarkable strength and stability at a time of great uncertainty. During the crisis he became, inessence, “America’s Mayor.” He calmed, consoled and reassured the public, while urging them to returnto their normal lives and not to let the terrorists achieve their aim of disrupting life. In one of the sad-dest times in American history, the remarkable leadership of Mayor Giuliani and the extraordinary heroism of his fellow New Yorkers restored faith in the ideals that are so vital to a freesociety. Mayor Giuliani was named Time magazine’s 2001 Person of the Year Award and Queen Elizabeth IIawarded him an honorary KBE — Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Sharing with audiences the principles of leadership, Rudy Giuliani looks back at the important lessonshe has learned during a lifetime of public service and how he drew on those lessons to provide strengthat a defining moment in America’s history.

ERIN GRUWELL, Educator

“Becoming a Catalyst for Change”SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 11:45 A.M. – 2:15 P.M. (time includes lunch)Erin Gruwell accomplished what many thought impossible. She helped 150 of herstudents, many who had been written off by the education system, realize the powerof education and the value of tolerance and diversity in the classroom. WithGruwell’s guidance and encouragement, the Freedom Writers, who once believedthey were “unteachable” and “sure-to-drop-out,” have graduated from high school

and are now pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. The journey of this teacher and her studentsis chronicled in Freedom Writers’ Diary – How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselvesand the World Around Them. Gruwell’s commitment to teaching tolerance has attracted national mediaattention, and in 2005, Miramax Films will release a feature film based on the Freedom Writers’ story.Gruwell also founded and is president of the Erin Gruwell Education Project, a non-profit organizationdevoted to teaching tolerance, funding college scholarships for underprivileged students and propagatingtheir vision for revolutionizing education for “at-risk” students. She also created and led the “Ambassadorsof Tolerance Tour,” which took the Freedom Writers to visit Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, AnneFrank’s attic in Amsterdam and war-torn Sarajevo.

In her inspiring speech, Gruwell tells the story of this extraordinary journey from poverty and despairto hope and promise. How can one person take on seemingly insurmountable problems of poverty, racism,and violence? What can we do in our lives to motivate and inspire those around us to achieve greatness?Erin Gruwell teaches us all how we can become “catalysts for change.”
