This panel has been included in the conference program to help address the timely topics of how to deal with loss of staff and loss of personal employment. As the economy, both national and international, has contracted into recession, many of our members are struggling with one or the other of these issues. Four panelists will offer personal experience and insight from the perspective of managing through staff reductions, working toward a known future severance date, operating in the "unemployed and looking" mode and, finally, looking back after having been through it all and moving on with a "modified" career. Panel members will be comprised of mill employees, consulting engineers, engineering design group personnel and equipment manufacturers' representatives.
