Advocacy is an important element that pushes companies to think about digital accessibility as more than just a barrier to launch. Unfortunately, many feel they don’t have the power within their current roles to make an impact. This talk will go over some ideas and suggestions to help empower anyone to be an accessibility advocate, no matter what role you’re in.

In order to influence meaningful policy change it’s important to have a strong grassroots presence. With mounting frustrations at the “hurry up and wait” attitude of Congress and changes to the rules of the political process, how do you keep the local grassroots population engaged? Join three organizers as they discuss how to build effective grassroots networks engaged in political process and what you can do to strengthen your own networks. Gabraelle Lane, Southern SAWG (AR); Lindsey Scalera, Michigan Voices for Good Food Policy (MI); Qiana Mickie, Just Food (NY). NOTE: We are expanding and refining this workshop & creating a new toolkit to premier at the Just Food Conference in NYC April 5-6. We will post a link here to the new toolkit.

Is brand activism good for business? The short answer is: it depends. Companies with a purpose are said to have a greater voice and more connectivity with buyers. But even though consumers expect brands to take up societal causes, your political stance or support for that very cause can attract but also alienate customers. Unlike previous decades, social media has maximized everything and anything that your brand puts out. So the question is – how can brands market well, to the generation equipped with the most sophisticated Bullshit Detector in the history of mankind? In this webinar we discussed: - The intersection of marketing and brand activism - Should your company participate or maintain an apolitical brand? - A framework for engaging in corporate social activism Watch on-demand: https://www.falcon.io/webinars/brand-activism/

Lifelong Learning Plan Introduction Life long learning is a concept or really a process that has generated much enthusiasm in the business management world. In the twenty-first century, I believe we will see more remarkable leaders and managers who develop their skills through lifelong learning, because a rapidly changing environment is increasingly rewarding that pattern of growth. In an ever-changing world, we can never learn it all, even if we keep growing into our nineties. As the rate of change increases, the willingness and ability to keep developing become central to career success for individuals and economic success for organizations. Many successful leaders and manager I have known did not begin their careers with the most money or the most intelligence. They were successful nevertheless because they we able to out grow their rivals. They developed the capacity to handle a complex and changing health care environment. They grow to become unusually competent in advancing organizational transformation. The best of them learned to become leaders. Just as health care organizations are going to be forced to learn, change, and constantly reinvent themselves in the twenty-first century, so will increasing numbers of individuals. So what are the habits of life long learners? There is no single formula, and individuals accomplish it through varying paths, often with more than one major career change. However, if I had to identify the five most important characteristics of life long learners, it would be the following: · Risk taking : Willingness to push oneself out of comfort zones · Humble self-reflection: Honest assessment of successes and failures, especially the latter. · Solicitation of opinions : Aggressive collection of information and ideas from others · Careful listening : Propensity to listen to others · Openness to new ideas: Willingness to view life with an open mind. The beauty is that that listening with an open mind, trying new things, or reflecting honestly on successes and failures do not require a high IQ, a Ph.D., or a privileged background. But beware of the simplicity of these habits. There is a major reason why so few individuals develop them -- in the short term, its painful. Risk taking brings failure as well as success. Honest reflection, listening solicitation of opinions, and openness bring bad news and negative feedback as well as interesting ideas. In the short term, life is generally more pleasant without failure and negative feedback. Effective lifelong learners overcome a natural human tendency to shy away from or abandon habits that produce short-term pain. By surviving difficult experiences, they build up certain immunity to hardship. With clarity of thought, they come to realize the importance of both these habits and lifelong learning. But most of all, their goals and aspirations facilitate the development of humility, openness, willingness to take risks, and the capacity to listen..

This paper "Beyond the Codes: Repositioning Towards a Sustainable Development," presented in 2013, underscores the crucial role of effective communication in driving sustainability within engineering practice. While traditional engineering approaches have relied heavily on codes of measurement and standardization to ensure safety and efficiency, the paper argues for a fundamental repositioning of engineering towards sustainability. This repositioning, depicted as going "beyond the codes," urges engineers to integrate sustainability principles into their work. Engineers must recognize that sustainability encompasses environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic prosperity, transcending mere compliance with technical standards. This broader mandate requires engineers to engage in dialogue with diverse stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, and communities. Effective communication becomes paramount in fostering collaboration and garnering support for sustainable initiatives. Moreover, engineers must embrace a new mindset that positions sustainability as a core aspect of their profession. They must advocate for sustainability within their organizations, challenging existing norms, and championing innovative solutions. This shift in perspective requires engineers to become proficient communicators, capable of articulating the value proposition of sustainability to various audiences. Internal communication within engineering firms is equally vital, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Engineers must share knowledge, expertise, and best practices to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices. Visual communication tools, such as data visualization, can aid in conveying complex technical information effectively. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes that effective communication is essential for repositioning engineering towards sustainability. By embracing communication as a core competency and championing sustainability, engineers can navigate the complexities of the 21st century and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
