GAWDA's Spring Management Conference was held April 29 through May 1 in Baltimore, MD. The conference’s Opening Business Session was headlined by Political Analyst Juan Williams. “I want to speak with you as American leaders,” Williams said, challenging GAWDA members to be proactive as leaders, helping to create change rather than reacting to change. Williams gave a run-down of the upcoming elections, anticipating a close race in the presidential elections.
