CHICAGO IS YOUR KINDA TOWN!
The Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Health Sciences Librarians Special Interest Group, in co-sponsorship with the Relevant Issues Section, will be presenting "Millennium Management: A Worklife Diversity Skills Workshop" as its featured program at the upcoming and highly anticipated Chicago MLA annual meeting. Well, highly anticipated by this former resident who misses Thai noodles, independent bookstores and Lake Michigan!
Our program is scheduled for Monday, May 17th from 4:00-5:30 p.m., room TBA. The moderator will be yours truly, Gerald (Jerry) Perry, Head of Information Services at the Arizona Health Sciences Library, The University of Arizona, and our featured presenter will be Sandra Rios Balderrama, Diversity Officer, Member Programs and Services, at the American Library Association in Chicago.
Working from attendants' own experiences, Ms. Balderrama will lead and facilitate a participative workshop where we will identify, clarify and build practical diversity-related skills to be applied in our work environments. Get ready to get involved, share your perspective and contribute to building important interpersonal tools and perspectives to help you as a team member, manager or supervisor in the workplace of the present and future.
Over the past year I've gotten to know Sandra as she has provided me with sound, sage advice in my work for the UA Diversity Action Council. She's talented, enthusiastic about diversity and also very, very nice!
SIG members may also be interested in other Relevant Issues Section programming. On Tuesday, May 18th at 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 n, RI and Public Health/Health Administration Sections will present, "Youth Violence: the Present is Tense. Issues to Address a Better Future." This panel event will feature moderator Kathel Dunn, New York Academy of Medicine, and the presentations: "Protecting Youth from Gun Violence: Public Health Approaches," "Information into Action: Public Health Information for Youth Violence Prevention," "Youth Violence Prevention Research, Programs, and Resources at the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," and "Youth Violence Information: What's out There & How Do I Get It?"
