) where he served as president for the year 2002, and is a past president of the Foundry Education Foundation (FEE). He is one of only four people who has served as president of AES, FEE and WFO.

In his lecture, Warren discusses the importance of pushing foundry men further so that when an individual has left, he can say that he has made a difference in not only his firm, but also the industry as a whole. Warren begins by explaining how foundry workers are motivated, and how managers can prepare them to compete in today's economy.

Warren then focuses on how attitude and character can be the difference in long-term job performance, and how proper training can lead to an improvement in performance. Finally, Warren gives a set of guidelines showing how every individual can make a difference with their lives, both professionally and personally.

"Success is possible for everyone, and it's worth the effort," says Warren. "The world is open for business. If you make a positive difference, there is a place for you."
