EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF DISNEY AT THE 2009 PLANET EXECUTIVE FORUM

HERNDON, Va., October 1, 2008 — Experience the magic that is Disney at the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) 2009 Executive Forum, February 19–22, 2009, at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Walt Disney World® Resort. This year’s Forum — Executive Magic: The Balance of Life, Work & Health — continues the focus on helping executives be the most effective, inspirational leaders they can be.

The line up of Forum speakers includes noted educator and world champion athlete Murray Banks, who has personalized presentations about performance for a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Siemens Corporation, American Express, and Bristol Myers Squibb; Bill Arman, founder and head harvester of The Harvest Group, a landscape business consulting company; and Scott Smith, an advanced certified personal trainer, AFFA Group Fitness Instructor, clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of MotivationToMove.com, a popular health, fitness, and motivation Web site. From Banks, attendees will learn that “who we are may be as important as what we know!” Arman’s workshop, entitled “Lessons From the Garden,” will cover the most important areas an executive needs to understand and focus on in order to build an organization that’s “best of class,” and Smith’s will focus on the tools to improve your mental and physical fitness.

And what better place for attendees and their families to be inspired than in the New England-style, Lakeside splendor of Disney’s Beach Club Resort? Attendees are encouraged to bring their families as there is plenty for kids and spouses/guests to do during and after the educational sessions, from behind-the-scene tours to access to a championship golf course, shopping, and a wide variety of recreational activities for both children and adults.

The major sponsors for this event include Caterpillar at the Gold level and Vermeer Corporation at the Silver level.
