KEYNOTE
Building a Culture for Sustainability: The Lane Story
Mary Spilde, President, Lane Community College, Eugene, Oregon.
The presentation will describe the evolution of sustainability at Lane and reflect on how to infuse sustainability into the values and culture of the organization.

A. Climate Change as a Catalyst for Sustainable Practices
Bill Purdy, Volunteer Presenter for The Climate Project
What is the science behind Climate Change, and what are the implications? A societal sea-change is occurring as we begin to understand our impact on the planet. What are the dangers and opportunities in the coming decades and how will our decisions be judged by future generations? Come watch a slide presentation on Climate Change and join in a lively conversation about sustainable solutions and how we can help shape the future.

B. Succession Planning: The Art of Grooming Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
Ron Morey, Profound Results Consulting
Succession planning is an essential step in preparing for the future of every organization, whether it is an academic environment, private or public sector. Planning symbolizes an organization’s commitment to attracting and retaining the talent necessary to move qualified and prepared people into a new position.

This session is intended to help each of us understand the basic strategies of developing a solid succession planning approach that is tailored to needs and capabilities within the community and technical college system.

C. Leading From Within
Terry Chadsey, Associate Director, National Center for Courage and Renewal
For a generation, the literature on leadership has stressed that we lead from who we are rather than what we know. Terry will engage you in reflecting on your own leadership and how to sustain yourself, using the signature reflective, interactive approach of Courage and Renewal, developed by Parker J. Palmer, author of Courage to Teach and A Hidden Wholeness.
