Attendee Information

Tuesday’s Keynote Speaker: Captain Mike Abrashoff – “It’s YOUR Ship”
Sponsored by: Mercury Marine

Mike Abrashoff is at the center of one of the most remarkable modern day stories of organizational transformation. At 36, he was selected to be Commander of USS Benfold and was the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific fleet. The challenges of this underachieving destroyer were staggering, with low morale and the highest turnover rate in the Navy. Few thought the ship could improve. Yet 12 months later it was ranked #1 in performance – using the same crew. How did Mike do it? By replacing command and control leadership with commitment and cohesion.

The lesson was clear – leadership matters and culture is everything. This inspiring talk is for every individual and organization looking for practical and usable ways to take organizational performance to new heights. In Mike’s case, he realized that before the ship’s performance could change, he had to change his leadership style. Mike worked to create a culture of trust and empower his crew to take charge and use ingenuity and initiative to improve every aspect of the way things were done. Top down leadership is dead, so when the crew would present a problem, Mike became famous for responding “What would YOU do? It’s YOUR ship!” Mike’s presentation leaves audiences with the tools and inspiration to accomplish big goals.

Wednesday’s Keynote Speaker: Aaron Popkey, Director of Public Affairs, Green Bay Packers- “Creating A Winning Team”
Sponsored by: AON

Aaron serves as the primary liaison with local & state government and civic officials, and also oversees external communications for all non-football departments. Through the course of his career, Popkey has been involved in many of the organization’s major events of the past 20 years, including appearances in Super Bowls XXXI, XXXII and XLV, and the redevelopment of Lambeau Field in 2003 and current projects. Popkey will discuss in his remarks how the Packers safely navigated the last two years in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic and how the organization has found success over the years.

General Conference Information

COVID-19 Safety Protocols

The health and safety of conference attendees is of paramount concern to Wisconsin Safety Council, which is why the event was held virtually in both 2020 and 2021. The Safety Council will strictly adhere to CDC guidelines for the conference based on COVID-19 Community Levels, which are currently Low in nearly all Wisconsin counties. According to the CDC, individuals in counties of low transmission are recommended to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and to get tested if symptoms develop. Additionally, the CDC is clear that people may choose to mask at any time. In addition, the Safety Council asks that no one attend the conference if they have even the mildest symptoms of illness. We all play a part in ending the pandemic through encouraging vaccinations and deploying and practicing good wellness protocols.
