We Bet You Didn’t Know that...

The Southern Food and Beverage Museum (SoFAB) http://www.southernfood.org/ opened its doors in the Riverwalk Marketplace on June 5, 2008. SoFAB, a museum dedicated completely to food and beverage and its impact on the South, will be home of the Museum of the American Cocktail (MOTAC) which is scheduled to open on July 21, 2008.

The National World War II Museum http://www.nationalww2museum.org/about/news_092503.html will undergo a $300 million expansion that will quadruple the size of the existing facility. The expansion will be completed in phases by 2009 and will feature galleries, exhibits and a national center for research on the war.

PACE Education Program Advisory Committee Working with Project Management Institute

When the Rolling Stones sang “You can’t always get what you want and if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need” they weren’t dealing with the PACE Education Program Advisory Committee. At PACE 2009, not only will you get what you want but you’ll also get what you need. Just ask Stanley J. Walton PMP, Coatings Program Manager.

We received an email from Mr. Walton suggesting that we offer a project management program at PACE 2009 and before you knew it, the committee began working with the Project Management Institute to develop a session that will feature different approaches to be considered for implementing a project, assessing the merits of the project and of course, the execution of the project.

Additional information will be available (date, time and program specifics) when registration opens on September 2. Be sure to check out www.pace2009.com frequently for program updates.

If you have suggestions for program topics, please feel free to contact our education coordinators Jennifer Miller at miller@pace2009.com or Adam Potts at potts@pace2009.com . You never know. You just might get what you ask for!
