Bay Area Diversity Council Mentoring Summit and new member Luncheon

July 31, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

San Francisco, California

Title: Mentoring Models for Success

There has long been the realization that Mentoring is a key development activity that may not be equally available to all populations in the workplace. Formal Mentoring Programs provide an opportunity for employers to further their diversity goals by bringing more people together as mentoring partners who might not otherwise be inclined to do so. In order to create inclusion and a diverse leadership pipeline, mentoring programs must be successful.

In this feature-packed workshop, attendees will learn the basics of two formal mentoring models: The Mentoring Partnership Program and the Self-Managed mentoring program. Examples from previous programs will be provided on how to enlist, match, train and provide support to a large percentage of the workforce.

Florida Glass Ceiling Summit – August 13 and 14^th 2008

Orlando, Florida and Tampa, Florida

Title: Putting Diversity into the Leadership Pipeline

We know that ceilings on the progress of women and minorities have been documented since the 1994 Glass Ceiling Commission Report. Are these ceilings built into organizational structures, a by-product of outmoded cultural norms, or intentional? As more professional women enter into the workplace and expect to advance on their merits the need to remove and reduce the impact of ceilings on mobility is critical.

In this Workshop, you will hear Dr. Boags outline an essential strategy for making the Leadership Pipeline more diverse by:

1. Understanding and removing institutional barriers

2. Providing Leadership Development Programs that build competencies for women and existing management

Through the examination of these factors you will be better able to understand and start the de-construction of the Ceilings in your own organization.
