The enormous McCormick Place Convention Center was the site
of The Fall 2007 Meeting in Chicago. Although we didn't quite fill
it up we still had a nice turn out of dedicated fixed operations
professionals!

Our esteemed President, Bryon Lamb, calls the meeting to
order with the historic Forum gavel. Vice-President Jim Morris
looks on. He can't wait to get his hands on the gavel next year!
For the first time in many years we had the privilege of having
Forum Founder and President of ADMI, Mr. Stephen Reading, in
attendance. Seated to Stephen's left is his immediate supervisor
Ms. Agnes Reading!
We were also privileged to have as our featured speaker Mr. Anu
Goel, Director of Global Supply and Logistics for FCSD. Anu was
gracious enough to take time from his very busy schedule to give us
a very informative presentation on the state of business.
Mr. Mike Farrere, Owner Advantage Rewards Program Manager for
FCSD introduced the this new and exciting program to the group.
We would like to thank  our Ford Motor Company speakers for their
time and preparation. Quality speakers are just one of the great
features of Forum meetings.
Drawing on his vast life experience, Mr. Stephen Reading gave an
emotional and motivational talk that hopefully inspired all of us to
not only improve our performance as managers but as people too!
Tom Thornton and Dave Wood, not pictured (somebody had to act
as photographer) helped us through our financial comparisons on
Saturday.
