PRESENTER: Dr. Vicenta Arrizon, counselor

 

DESCRIPTION: While the benefits of having a diverse and equity-minded faculty are well-researched, diversifying the faculty continues to be a controversial issue within higher education and little progress has been made. In this webinar, Dr. Arrizon shares what we can each do to take action to promote equity in the faculty search process, and helps us understand the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Multiple Methods for EEO that call for centering equity and diversity in recruitment, hiring, evaluation and the tenure review process.

Leading meetings effectively

Leading Effective Meetings

 

PRESENTER: James “JV” Miller of Milli Microsystems

 

DESCRIPTION: When run effectively, meetings are a productive tool to help groups convene, share ideas, and move forward toward goals. However, we often experience meetings that are unorganized, lead to more confusion than clarity, or just could have been an email. This session will introduce you to the skills of meeting management. In this session, you’ll learn how to plan and lead meetings that get the job done and that people want to attend, and you’ll learn how to do it in a way that’s both informative and engaging.
