Seaside Segway Tour
Coronado began in 1886, the dream of Elisha Babcok,
who vowed to create a resort that was“the finest water-
ing spot on the Pacific Coast.”Along with its fabled Hotel
del Coronado, the town became one of the great play-
grounds of the world, drawing presidents and princes,
moguls and movie stars to its shores. Concurrently, North
Island Naval Station was developed into one of this
century’s most important aviation centers—Lindbergh
and Doolittle lit her skies and shaped the destiny of flight
in America. Coronado’s past, full of fabulous homes and
famous memories, is still very much a part of San Diego’s
life today. On a leisurely, guided segway tour through
quaint Coronado, guests see the stately mansion of
famous entrepreneur John D. Spreckels and the cottage
of the Duchess of Windsor, view the home where the
Wizard of Oz was inspired, and see the magnificent Hotel
del Coronado.
$199 includes transportation, 90-minute segway tour,
guide, taxes, and gratuities.

Ethics with Andy Patron
Recent news is full of stories about scandals, cover-ups,
and ethical breaches. The construction industry, as a
whole, has often struggled with its reputation. You may
face ethical challenges in your own businesses, both
internally and externally, everything from bid rigging, sub
shopping, and unsubstantiated change orders. Ethics and
integrity are crucial business issues, and your decisions
and actions will determine your long-term financial suc-
cess. We will discuss how to build trust through integrity,
intent, capabilities, and results.
The Integrity Chain:
Ethics/integrity is a value
•
Trust is an attitude
•
Repeat business is a behavior
•
Profit is the result
•

Young Construction
Professionals present Decision-
Making Skills with Andy Patron
We make all kinds of decisions every day. Most of them
are easy to make and do not carry painful consequences,
but sometimes the stakes are higher and the conse-
quences of a poor decision are dire. When we need to
make the right decision, understanding the process for
decision-making can help us reduce or eliminate the risk.
Attendees will discuss and define an effective decision-
making process, including introduction to decision-
making, managing agreement, managing disagree-
ment, and problem solving. At the end of this session,
you will be able to understand the factors that affect
decision-making, analyze your personal decision-making
management styles, discuss ways to improve individual
decision-making, and discuss ethical decision-making.
