 WHO ARE THE ALLIED AGENDA DECIDERS?  OUR PLEDGE AAD will never sell or trade your personal or company information; and AAD will never sell advertising or permit advertising and/or purveyor interests to color the information that we present in articles and/or other forms. The ALLIED AGENDA DECIDERS (AAD) is a practical resource site dedicated to restoring the primacy of message-over-medium and is open to management personnel who have sole or contributory decision-making authority regarding (for their own organization) major meetings and/or training sessions. The AAD’s mission is to distinguish, recognize, and utilize the practical differences between the medium and the message in any/all group communication functions, because... "THE MESSAGE IS THE MESSAGE!" (Cavalier, as published in a 1970 column and later columns and books.) There can be help for your message(s), but there are no substitutes! Benefit from that awareness! AAD is open to any/all company management personnel who have sole or contributory decision-making authority regarding small, small-group, or major meetings and/or training sessions. Valid agendas for programs that succeed measurably--not by “They clapped!”--to achieve your desired outcomes. The AAD’s purpose is to distinguish, recognize, and utilize the practical differences between the medium and the message in any/all group Communications functions, because "The message is the message!" (Richard Cavalier, published in 1973 and later; Sorry, Marshall.) There can be purchased helps for your message, but there are no substitutes for it! Eligibility for AAD Membership is determined by function, not job title. Those eligible for AAD membership include all corporate executives, training directors, staff, line, and field managers—all who can call meetings or training sessions (not just a few persons around a desk) and hold stated decision-making authority for those agendas. Qualified Agenda Deciders will have the ability within their own organizations to call a functional and/or cross-functional meeting or training session for a small, small-group (of 7-9); or medium-size or large (for your company)program and/or other group communications function. If you qualify, we’ll welcome you as a member. Formal lesser groups (6 or fewer) are subject to constraints different from, and looser than, formal programs because of easy feed-back while in progress. Agendas are still required, or the gatherings might become bull sessions! Caveat: Smaller groups are harder, not easier, because errors and opinions will likely be challenged. AAD was founded by Richard Cavalier, author not only of the books shown but also the originator of many or most of the control processes and terminology in common use today in the entire meetings/training/conventions industry. . .which is dis-united by its three freebie magazines. All are advertising supported and dominated. AAD is aware that your objective is control of your agenda and related meetings requirements . . . but believes that unless and until you understand the common problems of the meetings field, you are not prepared to meet the commercial industry’s attitudes and problems. Begin learning via AAD—today!
Recognize and honor the dichotomy between medium and message. Both are valid functions.

(Richard Cavalier, published in 1973 and later; Sorry, Marshall.) There can be purchased helps for your message, but there are no substitutes for it! Eligibility for AAD Membership is determined by function, not job title. Those eligible for AAD membership include all corporate executives, training directors, staff, line, and field managers—all who can call meetings or training sessions (not just a few persons around a desk) and hold stated decision-making authority for those agendas. Qualified Agenda Deciders will have the ability within their own organizations to call a functional and/or cross-functional meeting or training session for a small, small-group (of 7-9); or medium-size or large (for your company)program and/or other group communications function. If you qualify, we’ll welcome you as a member. Formal lesser groups (6 or fewer) are subject to constraints different from, and looser than, formal programs because of easy feed-back while in progress. Agendas are still required, or the gatherings might become bull sessions! Caveat: Smaller groups are harder, not easier, because errors and opinions will likely be challenged. AAD was founded by Richard Cavalier, author not only of the books shown but also the originator of many or most of the control processes and terminology in common use today in the entire meetings/training/conventions industry. . .which is dis-united by its three freebie magazines. All are advertising supported and dominated. AAD is aware that your objective is control of your agenda and related meetings requirements . . . but believes that unless and until you understand the common problems of the meetings field, you are not prepared to meet the commercial industry’s attitudes and problems. Begin learning via AAD—today! THEY ARE PUSHING THE BOUNDS OF PRODUCTION... "THE MESSAGE IS THE MESSAGE"
