How would you communicate your client or company's messages when the governing political power structure opposes everything you do, challenges your credibility and doesn't care about the money, jobs or technology the program is bringing to the community? One man has been through the fire...or mountain in his case..and come out on the other side.

Join us June 25 as we welcome Allen Benson, Director of Communications and Outreach for the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. Yep, that includes Yucca Mountain. On the eve of his retirement from one of the most controversial public projects in the U.S., Allen will share his insight into communicating in a challenging public and political environment.
