APWA Western Snow & Ice Conference 2011


Conference Highlights

Featured Speaker: Mark Mayfield
Presenting “Momma Told Me There’d Be Days Like This”
Wednesday, 9/22, 8:30 a.m. - Grand Ballroom

It’s seldom that you find a really funny, clean comedian and it’s seldom that you find a really good captivating speaker. It is nearly impossible to find one who is both. Mark Mayfield is one of the rare individuals in the world who is equally adept at performing stand up comedy or presenting high content speeches. He excites, educates, and always entertains. Known as “The Corporate Comedian”, he has shared the stage with celebrities like Paul Newman, Peter Frampton, Colin Powell, and Bob Newhart and has introduced the President of the United States on a live, nationwide television broadcast. He delivers over 100 presentations annually to conventions, trade associations, and Fortune 500 companies and is the author of the popular book, “Mom’s Rules”, a comedic yet poignant look at all those things that mom said to us as kids. Mark Mayfield was raised on a farm; he received two degrees Magna Cum Laude from Kansas State University, served as National President of the Future Farmers of America, and spent time as a teacher, lobbyist, and nightclub owner. He is also a professional model and spokesman seen in print and television commercials. These experiences coupled with being the father of two daughters enable him to relate to all types of people. A national convention planner recently called Mark Mayfield “one of the very few, really funny, inspiring men in America today”.


Conference Environmental Track: Fighting White with Green

Environmentalism and the concept of “green practices” is pervasive in almost all levels of public works activities and now more than ever in snow and ice removal operations. The Western Snow & Ice Conference offers attendees the opportunity to “Fight White with Green” by attending environmental-related sessions. Just look for the “Fighting White with Green” symbol noted next to these sessions.

The Western Snow & Ice Conference will continue to incorporate environmentally-sound strategies throughout the conference. Our brochure, which has been printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper, is the first step in this direction. We also recommend that all conference attendees and their families conserve gas and money by using the free shuttle bus for transportation from the Roadeo site to the Holiday Inn Conference site. See page 14 for more details. Even our conference site is in keeping with this focus. The Holiday Inn - Estes Park has been recognized nationally as an environmental leader, and was awarded the Gold Leader in Colorado Environmental Achievement in 2007.
