Special event and seminar to be hosted and presented by
American Management Association in San Francisco, at 9 a.m
December 3.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 30, 2004—Carolyn Kepcher,
on-camera advisor to Donald Trump on NBC’s hit reality
television show “The Apprentice,” along with
two just-fired candidates from the show, will share their
business insights at American Management Association on
December 3. AMA, the world’s leading membership-based
management education and development organization, is sponsoring
a half-day forum on the “Lessons Learned from ‘The
Apprentice’” from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at AMA’s
Executive Conference Center, 55 Fourth Street, 2nd Level,
San Francisco Marriott Hotel.
The forum will feature a panel discussion
and a question-and-answer session with Ms. Kepcher, who
is executive vice president of The Trump Organization and
chief operating officer and general manager for the Trump
National Golf Clubs, along with “Pamela” and
“Raj” who were recently fired from the show.
There will also be an “Apprentice”-style competition
with real workplace applications. Proceeds from the event
will provide scholarships for high school and college students
to attend Operation Enterprise, AMA’s leadership and
career development program for young adults.
“‘The Apprentice’ is,
essentially, ‘Survivor Manhattan,’” said
Edward T. Reilly, President and CEO of American Management
Association. “While the show is designed to entertain,
it does depict business interactions and challenges that
frequently occur in real world settings. What brings us
back to the show each week? On one level, it’s the
human drama of the personality clashes, fierce competition,
ambition-fueled intrigue, the successes and the failures.
On another level, we can relate to the show because we’ve
either worked side-by-side with, or had to manage, similar
individuals. AMA’s forum will examine leadership,
conflict resolution, project management and other issues
raised on the show.”
“The Apprentice,” the weekly
hit series in which 18 young entrepreneurial executives
compete to win a lucrative position working with one of
Donald Trump’s companies, captivates millions of viewers.
The show is produced by Mark Burnett Productions in association
with Trump Productions LLC. Mark Burnett, Donald Trump and
Jay Bienstock are executive producers. Conrad Riggs and
Kevin Harris are co-executive producers.
