>Striving for Excellence and Pursuit of Your Dreams in America
>Excellence is under-rated, over-used and nearly >extinct. From public policy to board rooms of >America's largest companies to education and the >products we buy, there is scant attention paid >to excellence and entirely too much energy spent >on convincing others that the mediocrity that >surrounds us is really excellence in disguise. >We are told to settle for biased news coverage >and embrace products made in China because >they're cheap. We're told to buy genetically >modified food because it costs less and is >easier to grow. But what makes our lives rich is >the pursuit of excellence; the pursuit of our >dreams against overwhelming odds and spending >the cherished extra time we have in giving back >to our communities. If you attend this talk, >you'll gain insight on how the media works and >the challenge it faces today. You'll also learn >how an idea can grow into a dream and how a >tragedy can make the difficulties of others >better.
>BIO:
>Over her distinguished 20-year broadcast news >career, Emmy Award-nominated medical reporter >Jocelyn Maminta has anchored and reported for >local television stations in the major markets >of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas and >Connecticut. She has interviewed everyone from >national and state leaders, to NASCAR legends to >doctors, lawyers and everyday people struggling >with poverty, violence and illness. Friendly and >disarmingly honest, she brings the stories of >all these people to life in the markets where >she serves. In the process she has garnered the >respect of her peers and those who are >profoundly affected by her story telling and >attention to excellence and accuracy.
