Introduced by VP David Walker, the special
guest for the day was Dr. John Cicala
.
Dr. Cicala, will be the Executive Director at the Center for Negotiation
(CFN), at Texas A&M University, Kingsville, which is scheduled to be
launched in the Fall of this year.
Dr. Cicala is currently an Associate professor in the Department of
Management, Marketing and Information Systems. He has taught
negotiations at the University level (both graduate and post-graduate)
since 2004, and believes that, "every student needs to know how to
negotiate".

AACSB International is the premier accrediting body for collegiate business
and accounting programs. Its magazine, BizEd, recently featured an article
stating the importance of questioning as a business skill.
The college of Business Administration at Texas A&M University, Kingsville,
echoes that sentiment, with the launch of its new Center for Negotiation this
Fall.
The center will not only help educate its undergraduate and graduate students,
but anyone who wants to be better at negotiating.
The CFN is one of the only such centers in the State and one of the few in the
nation to concentrate on negotiation from a business perspective.
Dr. Cicala shared the importance of negotiation in everyday life with the Southside
Rotary club members. He also talked about the necessity of negotiation in every
career area, and his expectations for the CFN.

For his presentation, Dr. John Cicala received a
"Tacks Shelter" from President Nancy Foster.
The "Tacks Shelters" are designed and made by
club member Rodney Vaughn.
