CONSERVANCY COMMONS

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is looking for a consultant to take the Conservancy’s DEI work to the next level. As the four DEI Subcommittees (Staff Engagement, Education & Training, Hiring & Recruitment, and DEI Team/Executive Team Collaboration) developed their goals and visions, they realized the need for additional expertise and guidance. If you know of any consultants who can help us evaluate the Conservancy’s current culture, capacity, and readiness for DEI work—and provide relevant training, facilitation, and assessments—please contact Camey Yeh at cyeh@parksconservancy.org for more details. Proposals will be accepted until mid-January.

Noon PST. Emotions are a healthy part of the human experience. Acknowledging emotions and understanding your personal stress style is the first step in beginning to control them. In this session, we will discuss a selection of customary stressors as well as techniques for exercising control over them. Now might be a particularly salient time to take this training, with holiday season stressors of busy schedules, family gatherings, and financial pressures.
