SUMMARY:2/5/2026 Critical Thinking: Sharpen your Problem Solving and Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Are you having problems making decisions? Does it take too long to solve problems? How would you like to make 87% better decisions leading to 3.5 times likelihood that you will experience faster growth?\n“Critical thinking is\, in short\, self-directed\, self-disciplined\, self-monitored\, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism.” (Taken from Richard Paul and Linda Elder\, The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools\, Foundation for Critical Thinking Press\, 2008)  \nThis online workshop will explore best practices with regard to critical thinking and offer practical methods and strategies to intentionally adopt this approach and improve the way one thinks. Participants will explore assessment and evaluation\, problem-solving and decision-making\, through practical discussion and application during the session. \nThis course has been approved for SHRM PDCs.

SUMMARY:12/3 Lunch N Learn: Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Tech: Optimizing Hardware and Software Development & Deployment
DESCRIPTION:We tend to think that the development and deployment of technology is objective\, cold\, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And all humans are biased. So\, bias both impacts the way we build technology AND is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum\, MIT\, and others.  \nIn this eye-opening workshop\, we’ll explore the often-overlooked biases that can significantly impact the development and deployment of hardware and software technologies. Participants will gain a deep understanding of cognitive\, social attribution\, and perception biases that unconsciously impact the tech industry. \nThrough interactive exercises and case studies\, attendees will develop practical skills to recognize and address biases in their own work. This workshop is essential for CTOs\, product managers\, developers\, and anyone involved in creating or implementing technology solutions. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\n Identify common biases such as algorithmic bias\, sampling bias\, and sunken cost fallacy\n Understand how these biases can lead to inefficient development and outcomes that are not optimal\n Identify strategies to mitigate biases in the development process\, algorithm design\, and user interface development\n\nJoin us to learn how to optimize development and deployment so that your company thrives and your users are excited. \nSponsored By \n      \n

SUMMARY:Lunch N Learn: Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Selection & Usage of Hardware and Software
DESCRIPTION:We use technology – the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or\, as it is sometimes phrased\, to the change and manipulation of the human environment (OED) – to automate our work. To aid us in making decisions or even make decisions for us. To help us see things and do things that we ourselves cannot do because of lack of time\, lack of knowledge\, or lack of ability.   \nImplemented as machines\, hardware\, and/or software\, technology has evolved and shaped our world in many ways. Tools such as the internet and email for communications\, word processing\, spreadsheets and presentations for office productivity\, electronic databases for record keeping\, CNC Machines\, robots\, smartphones\, Internet of Things (IoT) devices\, and artificial intelligence are ubiquitous in our lives. \nWe tend to think that technology is objective\, cold\, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And we humans are all biased. So\, bias is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum\, MIT\, and others. This session will explore how to recognize bias in not only technology products but also how we use technology.   \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\nrecognize bias in technology\nidentify ways to select unbiased technology \nidentify ways to minimize the negative impact of bias in how you use technology\nadvocate for the elimination of bias in technology\n\nSponsored By \n      \n

SUMMARY:Institute for Trustees Session: Difficult Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Someone says something to you that is disrespectful of your heritage. You witness behavior that has sexist overtones. You observe a conversation where someone demeans a person because of their racial identity. Besides your legal and organizational policy obligations\, you need to have a difficult conversation with the person who caused the affront. But how do you have that conversation in a kind and effective way that has a positive outcome? Combining recent research by cognitive neuroscientists such as Dr. Lara Boyd and Dr. Michael Gazzaniga; conversation experts such as Douglas Stone and Bruce Patton; and discriminatory behavior experts such as Resmaa Menachem\, and Iris Bohnet this session will use videos and activities to give you insights into when and how to have these difficult conversations as well as tips on what to do when you see a discriminatory situation occurring.

SUMMARY:Making DEI Change Stick
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, Equity\, & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are all about change. Organizations in the United States spend $8 billion on diversity and inclusion training each year. Yet DEI initiatives are failing or being abandoned.  And yet\, the results simply aren’t there: 45% of US workers report experiencing discrimination in the past year and 75% of employees in underrepresented groups do not feel they have personally benefited from their company’s DEI programs. \nAt ANC ’24\, James McKim will lead a discussion on strategies you can deploy to develop and execute a DEI effort that is not just a social justice initiative but an organizational performance imperative. We’ll discuss why DEI efforts fail and the key questions every DEI initiative should answer. You will leave this session with a high-level DEI roadmap that will ignite your organization’s performance. \n \n

SUMMARY:A Board's Role in Igniting Organizational Performance Through DEI
DESCRIPTION:The National Council of Nonprofits defines a Board’s responsibility being “to steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound\, ethical\, and legal governance and financial management policies\, as well as by making sure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission.” Research from McKinsey\, PWC\, and others show that organizations that have diversity in their leadership are more likely to outperform their peers.
