Podcasts about governing boards

Geoengineering is defined as some emerging technologies that could manipulate the environment and partially offset some of the impacts of climate change. Seems like the perfect solution for a consumerist society that lives on instant gratification and can't stop polluting even at the risk of our futures, right? Well, let's slow down. Today we'll discuss the dangers of geoengineering and the ethics of the fact that these new technologies are being tested on Indigenous lands. GUESTS: Basav Sen – Climate Justice Project Director at the Institute for Policy Studies Dr. Steven Zornetzer – Vice-Chair, Governing Board of Arctic Ice Project Panganga Pungowiyi – Organizer for the nonprofit Indigenous Environmental Network in Alaska   The post The Promise and Peril of Geoengineering (encore) appeared first on KPFA.

For Earth Day, we bring back a special environmental episode from our archives!  As we head into an ever warming world, some experts and politicians are embracing a possible solution to climate change called geoengineering. Theoretically geoengineering could slow down climate change, stop it, and maybe even remove carbon from the air. It sounds like the perfect answer for a global political system that just can't stop burning fossil fuels even if it kills us all. But it might not be the easy fix we're hoping for. We talk to scientists and activists about what geoengineering is and why it could actually be a dangerous way to tackle climate change. We also dive into the moral and ethical questions of testing geoengineering technology on Indigenous lands. This episode first aired in 2023.

Young people do not fit into “cookie-cutter” stereotypes, says Michelle Chew, IFRC's newly elected Youth Commission Chair. “Young people are very diverse and only by valuing and accepting all forms of young people can we engage communities properly.” While young people are gaining influence, she says efforts to engage with youth can seem like “box-checking exercises” that end up turning young people away. As someone with experience as a front-line volunteer with Malaysian Red Crescent ambulance crews, she says she'll do her best to ensure the voices of young, community-based first responders are represented in the strategies, plans and decisions made by IFRC's Governing Board.

When Bas van Rossum was elected to represent youth on the Governing Board of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), he was the youngest person to have ever served in that role. Now as he steps down as president of IFRC's Youth Commission, he talks about the challenges ahead. “Young people are perhaps the closest to the front lines,” he says, during a special episode recorded during the IFRC Youth Forum. “So it's really important that we listen to young volunteers and that we give them space to really shape the direction we're heading.”

CTL Script/ Top Stories of June 25th             Publish Date: June 25th          From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Tuesday, June 25th and Happy 77th Birthday to Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood. ***06.25.24 – BIRTHDAY – MICK FLEETWOOD*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Cherokee Schools Announces New Principals and Administrators New Cell Phone and Dress Code Rules Coming to Cherokee Schools Canton Rotary Honors Fallen Bailiff 100 Years Later   Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Laura Lynn products.   We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    Commercial: CU of GA STORY 1:  Cherokee Schools Announces New Principals and Administrators The Cherokee County School District has announced key leadership changes for the upcoming school year. These include restructuring central office roles following a freeze on hiring by Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis. The changes aim to streamline operations and realign staffing, reducing central office positions through attrition and consolidation. New appointments include Joshua Heath as the first executive director for accountability, Mark Vance as principal of Creekview High School, and Kim Moody as principal of R.M. Moore Elementary School STEM Academy. Additionally, new roles such as director for leadership and operations and coordinator of student support have been created to enhance district operations and support functions. STORY 2: New Cell Phone and Dress Code Rules Coming to Cherokee Schools The Cherokee County School District has approved significant updates to its dress code and cell phone policies, effective August 1. The revisions, endorsed unanimously by the Board of Education, aim to standardize dress code guidelines across all schools and regulate cell phone use more strictly. The new dress code prohibits attire depicting vulgarity, promotes consistency in clothing length, and mandates coverage of certain body areas. Students are allowed to carry cell phones but must keep them silenced and out of sight during school hours, with specific usage rules varying by grade level. Discipline for violations will escalate based on circumstances, emphasizing correctional measures and principal discretion. The changes reflect community input and aim to reduce student stress while enhancing academic focus. Full details can be accessed on the district's website. STORY 3: Canton Rotary Honors Fallen Bailiff 100 Years Later The Rotary Club of Canton and local law enforcement paid tribute to Cherokee County Bailiff Charles Fernando “Charlie” Loggins, who was killed in the line of duty in 1921. His name was added posthumously to the Public Safety Memorial at Canton Rotary Park, honoring his sacrifice during Georgia's prohibition era while apprehending whiskey smugglers. The ceremony featured solemn remembrance, including the national anthem, color guard presentation, and remarks by community leaders. Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds presented Loggins' descendants with honors and unveiled the memorial's new addition, commemorating fallen public safety officers. The event also included scholarships for public safety personnel and a donation to support the family of the late Erin Mason, recognized for her service and tragically lost with her family in a recent accident.

Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Cherokee County Wants Your Input on Transportation Safety   Cherokee County officials, along with city and public safety leaders, are collaborating on a transportation safety initiative called Safe Streets For All. This effort, supported by a $450,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, aims to enhance road safety across Cherokee County, including Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, and Ball Ground. The project, managed by Pond and Company, involves gathering public input through a survey open until August. Residents are encouraged to identify safety concerns such as intersections, road conditions, and pedestrian safety. The initiative aligns with USDOT's goal of eliminating roadway deaths through improved road designs, speed limits, and post-crash care strategies. STORY 5: Highland Rivers Board Meets in Cartersville Wednesday Highland Rivers Behavioral Health's Governing Board of Directors will convene at 9:30 a.m. on June 26 at the Reaching Our Community Clubhouse in Cartersville.

The STA is primarily responsible for administering the Measure A program: the half-percent sales tax for transportation improvements in Sacramento County. The STA also administers the Sacramento Metropolitan Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in cooperation with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol. The program's primary objective is to reduce the traffic congestion caused by roadway incidents. The STA Governing Board and staff also serve as the Governing Board and staff of the Sacramento Abandoned Vehicle Service Authority (SAVSA). SAVSA provides funding to participating local jurisdictions for the abatement of abandoned vehicles and vehicle parts on streets and private property. The STA is the only local countywide transportation agency and, therefore, provides a number of other functions related to setting priorities for the expenditure of specified state and federal transportation funds in Sacramento County.

Boards of Trustees are the principal governing bodies of higher ed institutions, but they can also be the furthest from their day-to-day operations. So how can colleges best leverage their leadership? To tackle this question, Michael and Jeff welcome Chris Romer and Jane Scaccetti, trustees from the boards of Colorado Mountain College and Temple University, respectively. They discuss the Board's role in improving the value proposition of higher ed, engaging communities, representing stakeholders, and handling crises. They also discuss what boards need to do all of this most effectively. This episode is made with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Chapters0:00 - Intro4:00 - Path to Becoming a Trustee6:25 - Perspective of Trustees on the Value of Higher Ed11:16 - Strategic Planning and Informed Support for Trustees18:00 - The Complexities of Higher Education GovernanceLinks We MentionAssociation of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges Connect with Michael Horn:Sign Up for the The Future of Education NewsletterWebsiteLinkedInX (Twitter)ThreadsConnect with Jeff Selingo:Sign Up for the Next NewsletterWebsiteX (Twitter)ThreadsLinkedInConnect with Future U:TwitterYouTubeThreadsInstagramFacebookLinkedInSubmit a question and if we answer it on air we'll send you Future U. swag!Sign up for Future U. emails to get special updates and behind-the-scenes content.

Unleash Your Leadership Superpowers Bishop Warner H. Brown is a retired bishop of The United Methodist Church, serving from 2000 to 2016.  He is currently serving as an interim bishop of the Sierra Leone Episcopal Area in the West Africa Central Conference.  

 From 2014 to 2016, Bishop Brown was the President of the Council of Bishops.
------------------------ 

Bishop Brown was born and raised as an only child in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Ida and Warner Brown. At the age of thirteen, while reading the New Testament, he felt a call to serve. He began preaching as a youth and was encouraged to continue doing so. As a young adult, he attended the University of Maryland, (B.A. in Sociology, 1969.) He also graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC with a Master of Divinity degree.

 In 1973 Warner was ordained deacon in the Baltimore Annual Conference by Bishop James K. Mathews. Yet his movement west had already begun with a pastoral appointment in the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference as both the pastor of a church and Director of Bethany House Ministries in Pittsburgh, a social service ministry for two housing projects. While serving in western Pennsylvania, he was ordained elder in 1975 by Bishop Roy C. Nichols. In 1979, he answered a national search for an associate conference staff position in the California-Nevada Conference and transferred there. Once in California, it was only six months later that he was asked to serve as Conference Council Director.

 From this role of program and administrative oversight for the Conference, Warner was appointed just four years later to the Superintendency of the Golden Gate District, the richly diverse area including San Francisco and several rural and suburban counties along the Pacific Coast. Four years after that, he was given the charge of the Taylor Memorial UMC in Oakland, CA. While serving this significant congregation, the community was then assaulted by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and two years later the holocaust of fires in the Oakland hills. As chairperson of the Oakland Inter-religious Network for responding to this disaster, Warner led the community's ecumenical disaster response.

 Throughout these years, Warner has been active in the social justice ministries and programs of those communities and church connections where he has been appointed. To list but a sampling: Volunteer Police Chaplain, Trustee of the Glide Foundation, vice-chair of the Community Advisory Commission for Alameda County Medical Center, member of the Governing Board of United Way for Kern County, a member of the. Board of Directors for the Bakersfield Homeless Shelter, recipient of the 1996 Outstanding Leadership and Service Award for Emergency Response Ministries, given by UMCOR, and recipient of a 1998 Special Congressional Recognition from Congresswoman Barbara Lee. 

Warner's leadership in the church has included service as a delegate to General Conference twice, member of the General Commission on Religion and Race, a faculty member for New DS/CCD training, Harry Hoosier Member of and twice the host for the National Black Methodists for Church Renewal, chair of the Board of Missions in California-Nevada Annual Conference as well as numerous other conference boards and agencies, adjunct consultant to the Alban Institute, and a Wesley Seminary Distinguished Alumni. 

Following a successful eleven-year pastorate in Oakland, Warner was given a new challenge as Senior Pastor of the predominantly white yet multi-ethnic First UMC of Bakersfield, CA. Only two years into this pastorate, he was nominated and endorsed by his conference for the episcopacy: at the Western Jurisdiction Conference Sessions in Casper, Wyoming, and in July of 2000 he was elected to the episcopacy on the 19th ballot and assigned to the Denver Area. He retired in July 2016.

This week, Brett had the privilege of sharing some time with Tampa and Florida legend – Governor Bob Martinez. He was Tampa's 54th mayor and Florida's 40th governor; both positions held as the first of Spanish descent. He also has deep roots in Tampa, his grandparents having immigrated from Spain at the turn of the 20th Century during a great boom in the cigar industry there. His father worked in the restaurant business, including as a long-time employee at the famed Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City, and then later at the family-owned Café Sevilla in West Tampa. Martinez was a star athlete at Jefferson High School, a graduate of the University of Tampa, and got his professional start as a classroom teacher before becoming the Executive Director of the Hillsborough County Classroom Teachers Association. He was called upon by Governor Ruben Askew to serve on the Governing Board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District and chair three Basin Boards there: The Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, and Alafia River. They discuss his childhood in Old Tampa where he enjoyed school, excelled at sports, and spent his free moments fishing with his father and his friends; how Café Sevilla became the birthplace of a mayor's race and the campaign to be Governor of Florida; how his service as head of the teachers union gave him his first taste of real politics; his time at Swiftmud gave him a taste for the water and environmental needs of a region; and a mayorship that gave him the opportunity to restore, innovate, and move his home city forward. His term as governor would be marked by enacting some of the most consequential environmental policy in Florida history including the enactment of the Preservation 2000 conservation land acquisition program, the Growth Management Act, and the Surface Water Improvement and Management Act. He also implemented the Florida Lottery, created Florida's Turnpike Authority, and created Space Port Florida. There are a few other achievements in particular that hold a more personal value to Brett including Martinez's restoration of the Lowry Park Zoo from the ground up as mayor; the creation of Florida Prepaid College; the rebirth of Nature's Classroom in Hillsborough County; an amazing nearly 70-year (and counting) partnership with his beloved wife Mary Jane; and of course, his analysis of why the Tampa Cuban sandwich is superior to the one from Miami (it's the bread). He's still as active as ever, serving on many boards and clubs, is a Senior Policy Advisor with the Holland & Knight Law Firm, and at 89 years-old, you can still find him on his daily walks or on the tennis court. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

"Why is it that certain people are vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and why are other people more resilient?" Dr. Richard Davidson, Ph.D, felt guided by this question, and dedicated himself to developing insight into how our brains regulate our emotions. But in 1992, Richard was inspired by the Dalai Lama to revise his initial question and instead consider: What qualities foster well-being? "His Holiness challenged me and asked why we are not using the tools of modern neuroscience to study qualities such as kindness and compassion rather than negative qualities of the mind such as depression and anxiety. I had no good answer, and on that day, I made a commitment to His Holiness and to myself that I would do everything within my power to help place these positive qualities on the scientific map," Richard said. That renewed and refocused commitment has generated ripples of goodness. Named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2006, Richard founded in 2008 the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has served as a faculty member and professor since 1984. Richard's research is broadly focused on the neural bases of emotion and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices. A prolific researcher, he has authored more than 570 articles, numerous chapters and reviews, and edited 14 books. His research has identified four keys to well-being - resilience, outlook, attention, and generosity - that can be strengthened in each of us through practice. Richard founded Healthy Minds Innovations (HMI), a nonprofit affiliate of the Center for Healthy Minds, in 2014. HMI translates well-being science into tools (including a Kindness Curriculum and the Healthy Minds program and app) to cultivate and measure well-being. "I really feel a moral calling [to help people develop well-being as a skill], because I feel most people would agree that the trajectory we've been on is not a particularly healthy or sustainable one. Everyone has a role to play in this, everyone can be a participant, just like with climate science. Everyone can play a constructive role in helping the planet heal," said Richard. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Richard earned his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from NYU before completing his Ph.D in Personality, Psychopathology, and Psychophysiology at Harvard University. He authored (with Sharon Begley) the New York Times bestseller, The Emotional Life of Your Brain and co-authored Altered Traits with Daniel Goleman. In 2000, Richard was the recipient of the American Psychological Association's prestigious Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award in 2000. He was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2017, and appointed to the Governing Board of UNESCO's Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) in 2018. Join us on February 3 for a conversation with this transformative psychologist and well-being advocate.

As we head into a ever warming world, some experts and politicians are embracing a possible solution to climate change called geoengineering. Theoretically geoengineering could slow down climate change, stop it, and maybe even remove carbon from the air. It sounds like the perfect answer in for a global political system that just can't stop burning fossil fuels even if it kills us all. However, it might not be the easy fix we're hoping for. We talk to scientists and activists about what geoengineering is and why it could actually be a dangerous way to tackle climate change. We also dive into the moral and ethical questions of testing geoengineering technology on indigenous lands. GUESTS: Basav Sen, Climate Justice Project Director at the Institute for Policy Studies Dr. Steven Zornetzer, Vice-Chair, Governing Board of Arctic Ice Project Panganga Pungowiyi, organizer for the nonprofit Indigenous Environmental Network in Alaska   The post The Promise and Peril of Geoengineering appeared first on KPFA.

There's a new school in town, and it is likely coming to the Annapolis Mall! New Village Academy is a different type of public high school designed to allow those who have "checked out" of school to realize their full potential by teaching differently! With a focus on mentorship, internship, and peer support, this new school has received the green light from the Anne Arundel County Board of Education to move forward and begin to accept students beginning in the fall of 2024. We sat down with the founder/brainchild of the school, Romey Pittman (yes, she is the sister of Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman) and Darius Stanton, President of the Governing Board to learn a lot more. This is a tuition-free public school that understands that reading, writing, and arithmetic are not for everyone. This is a public school that understands that students thrive when they are engaged and that not everyone engages in the same way. This is a public school that is poised to set Anne Arundel County apart from the crowd when it comes to educating our children. Have a listen!
