    January 22, 2011  (Note Topic Change)

    Category: Management & Society

    Title: "Re-inventing Learning Processes for the 21st Century"

     Presenter: Bill Peter

     Abstract: How do humans learn? Does the learning process start at conception, or at birth, or at      

     Kindergarten? Are the learning processes different now than they were 1,000 years ago? What roles will

     schools have in the learning process in the next 90 years of the 21st Century? What might happen in the

     future? What probably will happen in the 21st Century?

     What do we want to make happen, thereby creating the future of the processes of learning? Bill will help us

     answer some of these questions in a new format of our Minnesota Futurists’ meeting: “Creative Group

     Thinking for the 21st Century."

    Title:"Eleven Investment Themes for 2011"

    Presenters: Rog Rydberg & Dick Saunders

    Abstract: 2010 was a surprisingly strong year for stocks in the face of lackluster economic growth. What trends

    will prevail in 2011? A survey of market strategists shows an unusually wide divergence of opinions, from

    continued moderate growth to a sharp downturn ahead. Some of our favorite sectors -- and yours.
