"CONVERSATIONS" OVERVIEW

"Conversation" events are held in an elegant, intimate, living-room setting and are limited in attendance, in order to encourage an an open dialogue and a lively exchange of ideas and information. The highlight is a candid conversation between and among the Forum's guest for the evening and the participants. The conversation focuses on specific leadership topics, as well as leadership and life experiences, wisdom gained, lessons learned and sacrifices made -- in order to help one another excel, professionally and personally, and to help their organizations and society to thrive. Each event provides multiple opportunities for the participants to interact and concludes with a hosted reception. Past "Conversation" guests include: The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (Ret.); Shirley Weis, Chief Administrative Officer of Mayo Clinic worldwide; Beth Brooke, Global Vice Chair of Ernst & Young; Deb Henretta, formerly President of the Global Baby Care Division and now Group President, Asia, Procter & Gamble; Dr. Eleanor "Connie" Mariano, first female Commander of the White House Medical Unit and Physician to three sitting U.S. Presidents; and a number of outstanding senior executives from Arizona.

KATHY HANRAHAN Former President & CEO of TASER International Former CEO, President & Co-Chairperson of the Board, The TASER Foundation CEO, New Horizons Management Inc.

Prior to establishing her own company, Kathy Hanrahan served twelve years in senior management positions at TASER International, culminating with her appointment as President and COO. She also spent almost two years heading The TASER Foundation and has over 11 years of executive experience with other Arizona-based companies. (She is an Arizona native.) Her new venture, New Horizons Management Inc., specializes in assisting private companies as they prepare strategies, personnel and infrastructure for their next phase of growth.

From 2008 - 2010, Kathy served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Board Co-Chairperson for the TASER Foundation, whose mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of local and federal law enforcement officers lost in the line of duty by providing financial and educational support to their families. In that role, Kathy was responsible for the direct oversight of the organization, and the development of strategic initiatives and programs to grow the Foundation's outreach across the United States and Canada.

Prior to her involvement with the TASER Foundation, Ms. Hanrahan served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of TASER International headquartered in Scottsdale. During her more than 12 year tenure with TASER International, she filled a number of key executive roles. She served first as Controller, establishing the financial, human resource and administrative systems and controls to manage the business. When the Company began preparations for its initial public offering, she was promoted to Chief Financial Officer and subsequently added the responsibilities of Chief Operations Officer. With TASER growing at a pace of 175% year over year, she had to make a choice between the two positions and chose Operations as she truly loved working among the employees and finding ways to improve the organization's operating efficiencies. On October 28, 2006, she began her next chapter with TASER International, stepping into the office of the Chief Executive, becoming the President and Chief Operating Officer managing the day to day business across all departments.

Prior to joining TASER International, Kathy held management positions, directing human resources, accounting and operational functions with Kachina Testing Laboratories (1/1989 to 12/1995) and Allstate Energy (5/1984 to 12/1988), both Phoenix based Companies.
