“I am convinced that if we as a society work diligently in every other area of life and neglect the family, it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.’’ –Stephen R. Covey

STEPHEN COVEY AT ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

Rotarians will have a unique opportunity to hear one of the world’s most prominent motivational speakers at the 2007 RI Convention in Salt Lake City.

Dr. Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families was released in October 1997 and ranked fourth on the New York Times list within three months of its release date. It is the No. 1
best-selling hardcover book on family.

Stephen Covey received the United States National Fatherhood Award in 2003, which, as the father of 9 and grandfather of 44, he says is the most meaningful award he has ever received.

Dr Covey’s presentation will be one of dozens of breakout sessions to be held throughout the convention starting on Monday, 18 June. These forums will provide an opportunity for networking and learning through listening and discussion.
