Leadership and Life After Shuttle by Marshall Heard
At the October 23,
2008 Boeing Space Coast Leadership Association (BSCLA) meeting, our speaker was Marshall Heard, a retired Boeing Executive who finished his 34 years with The Boeing Company here in Florida.

Mr. Heard came to Florida after the acquisition and merger to share with us how Boeing does business. The bullets from his presentation are below but the real gems were the actual Boeing stories that went along with each point. We learned about the Boeing Boat business, the early 747 decisions, Tankers, Rotor-craft, China, cruise missile failures, strikes, ethics failures, time management and board decisions. It was an informative and motivating evening for all who were in attendance. Mr. Heard shared PowerPoint slides with dynamic information on Conduct of a Leader, Planning, People (including yourself), and Development Programs. 

The evening concluded when Mystery Hand Shaker Christina Martin (formerly Spialek), selected Nicolas Charalambous as the winner of the $20.00.  Nicolas then drew David Bethay’s name from the basket for the 50/50 winnings.  David graciously donated his winnings to the Scholarship Fund. BSCLA, VP, Shirley Jenkins then announced BSCLA’s upcoming activities, and adjourned the meeting.  Article written by Tim LaMunyon, BSCLA Member.  More Information

2009 Scholarship Fundraiser

The Boeing Space Coast Leadership Association, National Management Associa-tion (BSCLA), Chapter 629 began selling Plush Land Bears approximately two weeks ago in an effort to raise money for the 2009 Scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to local high school seniors who will be attending college after graduation. Last year this chapter was able to award approximately $8000 in scholarships as a result of this and many other fundraisers. The chapter currently has raised $270 for next year's scholarships from this fundraiser. More bears are available for sale, so if you want to support this great cause by purchasing a bear or more, please see the Coordinator in your work area.
