I2M Leadership
The Innovate to Motivate® Story
Dedicated to Reinventing PAC and Grassroots Professional Development
In the summer of 2000, an experienced group of political involvement professionals encouraged Peter Kennerdell, Amy Showalter and Tony Kramer to design a learning opportunity that would go beyond introductory "show and tell" sessions and squarely meet the special needs of experienced PAC and grassroots practitioners. Amy, Peter and Tony accepted the challenge.
With the early and enthusiastic support of 16 respected co-host organizations and input from an Advisory Committee comprised of veteran political involvement professionals, they created a conference experience that includes a rigorous curriculum that recognizes the challenges of today’s PAC and grassroots professionals.
Thus, I2M was the first conference of its kind to integrate career acceleration and scientific influence courses into the existing PAC and grassroots curriculum. All workshops are also designed for maximum participant interaction, and this high quality interaction is a hallmark of all I2M gatherings.
Today, the I2M philosophy lives on through the dedication of our Advisory Committee, led this year by Patroski Lawson of Solvay Pharmaceuticals and Meaghan Killion Joyce of International Paper, as well as I2M Co-Founders Amy Showalter, Peter Kennerdell and our co-host organizations.
2010 Innovate to Motivate® Advisory Committee
The members of the 2010 Innovate to Motivate® Advisory Committee represent the nation's brightest and most experienced corporate and association PAC and grassroots professionals. They play an instrumental role in shaping the focus and content of our 2010 conference, securing the highest quality faculty and serving as valuable resources during the meeting. With their involvement, we will once again demonstrate that sharing among peers is the hallmark of the Innovate to Motivate® learning experience.
