MaryJane Butters, farmer, carpenter, entrepreneur, magazine publisher, photographer, and writer, hitting her stride now in her 50s, after an early career in the U.S. Forest Service
Speaker sponsored by Cooper Industries
Dinner sponsored by Thomas & Betts
What woman working in a male-dominated industry doesn't need a good old-fashioned, women-only revival energy now and then? Some might call it a support group, but MaryJane Butters, who runs a dues-paying organization with 4,000 members, calls it a lifeline. Upending long-held notions about a women's place in the world has been her life's work, not only in the male-dominated field of construction but also in agriculture. Beginning at age 17, when, serving as a student body officer, she took on the state of Utah simply because she thought it might come in handy to be able to wear pants to school now and then. Once she rallied the other girls in her school, it was only a matter of time. The year after she graduated, their hard work paid off. Girls throughout Utah were given permission to wear pants to school.
The work of creating social change gets a whole lot easier when you lock elbows with a compatriot, fuel your body properly, and come to the truly contrary realization that being happy is ultimately more important than being right. MaryJane will talk about how important it is to remain playful, no matter the struggle, whatever the outcome. "Give us liberty or give us... beer and popcorn."

The Speed of Trust
Donna Burnette
Sponsored by Cooper Wiring Devices
There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy and civilization throughout the world — one thing which, if removed, will destroy the most powerful government, the most successful business, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.
On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, that one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. That one thing is trust. The Five Waves of Trust model serves as a metaphor for how trust operates in our lives. This summary will cover these forms as the structure for understanding and making trust actionable, including a look at the Four Cores of credibility and the 13 Behaviors of high-trust leaders. The summary concludes with a section on restoring lost trust on the societal, market, organizational, relationship and personal level. In all cases, the Four Cores and 13 Behaviors provide powerful restoration models. What you will learn in this summary:
- The economics of trust and its effects on speed and cost in relationships and organizations.
- How you can assess your credibility based on character and competence.
- The 13 Behaviors common in people with high-trust relationships.
- The taxes and dividends that flow from organizational trust.
- How micro trust issues in the self and in relationships flow outward to affect market reputation and societal contribution.
- How to be an effective leader by inspiring and extending trust.
- How to restore lost trust.

Lynn Donohue, author of Brick by Brick
Speaker sponsored by United Copper Industries
Dinner sponsored by Schneider Electric
Armed with a passion to success, a willingness to confront risk, and an indomitable spirit, Lynn Donohue turned her life around, brick by brick. Raised in a working class neighborhood in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Donohue seized the opportunity to leave her job as a bartender and became a mason's apprentice. From the beginning of her chosen profession, she not only built walls, she tore them down. She was the first and only woman to win the state masonry competition, and she was the first female member at Bricklayer's Local 39. Excelling at her trade, she overcame the prejudices of this male-dominated field to eventually form her own company, Argus Construction, which has grown into a multi-million dollar company with more than 50 employees.
In 2000, Donohue used her wealth and financial independence to found Brick by Brick, a New-Bedford based nonprofit organization that helps teenagers and adults in transition. She told her inspirational story in the critically-acclaimed book, Brick by Brick: A Woman's Journey, which was a finalist for the 2001 Ben Franklin Award for best autobiography. Through all of her endeavors, Donohue has built a life that exemplifies fortitude and resilience.
