Next Gen Next Steps!

Our Steering Committee met to review the design thinking results and determine our next steps. We identified the need for three consultants to lead us from maximizing multigenerational work groups to creating a safe space to have conversations about professional and skill development, failure, asking for help, leveraging networks and more.

We’ve designed a two-part program with three outstanding consultants:
1.       Part 1: We will begin with an all-staff workshop on Wednesday, September 17th from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. with Rita Sever. Rita is a nonprofit consultant with 20+ years of experience in human resources and organizational development. Rita will work with us on multigenerational work groups. This will be a highly interactive session with games, group work, and reflection. Snacks will be provided. Click here to learn more about Rita.
2.       Part 2: Our next all-staff workshop will be on Wednesday, October 22nd from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with Jeanne Bell.  Jeanne is the CEO of CompassPoint Nonprofit Services and worked with the Art Center during our strategic planning process. This will also be a highly interactive session with large and small group work, reflection, and by the end, we will have created our professional development “tool.” Lunch will be provided.
