SMC³ Announces 46^th Annual Summer Meeting
Attendees to Gain Insights on Personal and Professional Development

Peachtree City, GA – May 14, 2001 –As the leading provider in transportation pricing, data and technology, SMC³ today announced the dates and location of its 46^th annual summer meeting. The meeting, entitled Generations At Work: How to Foster Harmony and Productivity Among the Boomers, Xers and Nexters, will be held at the Wyndham Palace Resort in Orlando, Florida, June 20-22, 2001. The focus of this summer meeting is how managers can bridge the gap between younger workers and the seasoned workforce.

"There is no doubt that leading and managing employees has changed over the last 20 years," stated Jack Middleton, president and CEO of SMC³. "Today’s young workforce seems to be on a different wavelength than the Boomers--more so than ever before. As a leader, you need to stay on top of these changing views as they unfold within your own organization. We’ve designed this symposium to arm attendees with the right tools to align their organizations with action leaders and leadership teams."

In addition to professional development seminars, the symposium will also address personal relationship skills as well as trends in the logistics and legislative marketplace. Other items of interest include a spotlight on Application Service Providers (ASP) and how SMC³ plans to rollout ASP services to the industry; a Bill of Lading (BOL) Forum; and the annual General Rate Committee (GRC) Meeting.

Featured speakers will include such prominent leaders as Richmond Fourmy, Senior Career Management Consultant for Right Management Consultants; Sherry Shaver, Career Consultant for Right Management Consultants; Dr. Les Parrot, a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Seattle Pacific University; and John Bagileo, principal at the Law Firm of John R. Bagileo. In addition, Robert Delaney, Vice President for Cass Information Systems will deliver his analysis of the U.S. logistics industry and its impact on the motor carrier marketplace
