the folks at the reception table they are our guest.

CREATING OPPORTUNITY - DICK DURRANCE

Seeing What Is / Imagining What Can Be


In difficult times, creative vision is the key to economic survival.

Dick Durrance, a photographer whose career reaches back to the Vietnam
War
and includes everything from shooting for National Geographic to
global advertising campaigns,
will talk about how to use your creativity to survive in an economically
challenging world.

Durrance gave the closing keynote address to the ASMP National
Leadership Conference this year -
about this same stuff - and received a standing ovation.

He’ll be talking about:

* It doesn’t matter what your gift is, what matters is what you do
with your gift.

* Creativity without craftsmanship is like a million times zero. It
equals zero.

* If you reach out to other people, you invite them to reach back in
return. In that
connection, you discover the understanding and opportunities that
arise when
you work freely with the people around you. Make that connection and
magical things can happen.

* If you create opportunities for your community, your organization,
and yourself,
you honor the gift of life.

* By stretching your imagination, you can see what is and imagine what
can be.

With a little prompting, he might even talk about his wide-ranging
career,
including his three books, his time as an All-American skier, and his
award-winning golf-course
photos - beautiful even if you don’t golf.
