Jim Brazell, a 26-year leader in technology and innovation, will present a keynote address Thursday at Central Lakes College for high school administrators, instructors, and counselors from 26 school districts. Brazell has traveled the United States and internationally advocating the importance of cooperation across the disciplines – especially career and technical education, academics and the arts. From 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the Brainerd campus gymnasium, Brazell will speak about next-generation education, work, technology and communities that understand that the key to solving the financial crisis is to invent and innovate our way to what is next.
