Leadership America Session 2 - New Orleans
Resilience was the topic for Session 2 of Leadership Women in New Orleans. There with Sacramento friend and colleague Dr. Janice Thompson. A special story from Mark Raymond, Jr., founder and CEO of Split Second Foundation who turned a life-changing accident into a foundation to help others with disabilities. He reminds us that leadership is about "how you respond to adversity" and was inspired by a Sacramento organization, SCI-FIT (Spinal Cord Injury Functional Integrated Therapy).
Urban Water Institute Fall Conference - San Diego
September’s Urban Water Institute Annual Conference in San Diego focused on all aspects of risk, “Safety, Security, Sustainability - Time Talent Treasure.” I enjoyed presenting on “People Power to Manage Risks: Leadership Durability Key to Sustainability” and my Co Facilitator Liji Thomas from MWD stressed the importance of technology and innovation to attract future workforce and streamline. Great interaction and ideas from the audience! Also wonderful to honor retiring Executive Director Ane Deister and all she has done to elevate UWI!
