Government Printers Meet in New Orleans
And then there was the evening outing to the New Orleans School of Cooking, where attendees learned how to cook like a Cajun (thanks, in part, to volunteer chef Richard Beto, NGPA president, who stirred up some mean pralines).
Speakers included several Louisianians who brought some local flavor to the event. Most memorable was Jay Dardenne, Louisiana's secretary of state, who gave an informal and entertaining history of the state during the farewell reception. Equally entertaining was Rose Hudson, president of the Louisiana Lottery, who provided an amusing look at the different generations all trying to work together in today's workplaces. The younger "Gen Y" workers have different motivations and perspectives than Baby Boomers, leading to confusion, exasperation and (in Hudson's telling) amusement as they try to interact with one another.
