Modeled on the widely acclaimed TED Talks series, FRED makes its debut at the 2010 FEA Field Staff conference in Indianapolis, Indiana this week.  Bringing together a group of talented minds to share brief talks about their diverse areas of expertise, FRED will expose newer fraternity/sorority staff members to "ideas worth sharing" as TED's tagline suggests.  The schedule of the first ever FRED Talks series is below.  Look for videos of the talks coming soon.
