2016 DISABILITY BRG PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT LEADERSHIP SUMMIT – AGENDA

MESSAGE REGARDING NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION

“Springboard, its Executives, personnel and contractors do not support the views and the recent rulings by Governor McCrory and the North Carolina legislature or anyone else who supports the Governor’s view. We believe everyone deserves to be welcomed, valued, respected and heard. We are against discrimination of any kind, and are extremely disappointed and concerned with these recent legislative actions.

We favor laws that encourage open and effective collaboration, not those that seek to gain by dividing instead of uniting all people.

Springboard greatly supports the LGBT Community; they are our clients, partners, neighbors and most importantly, our friends. Springboard’s 2016 Disability Matters Conference and Awards Gala will go on as planned in support of the disability community which is inclusive of LGBT. We look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Nadine O. Vogel
Chief Executive Officer

SIMULATION FOR SUCCESS:

Join us for Springboard’s 2016 Disability BRG Leadership Summit where we will deploy what research has taught us—Adults truly absorb better and learn better through experiential learning. Reading and lectures are good but nothing compares to an experience, a simulation for success.

Whether you’re a first-timer or have attended the past four years, our 2016 Summit will be a brand new experience, one not to be missed.

The day will be divided into the following three sections:

1. Participate in one of two simulated Disability BRG Strategic Planning Sessions, one for new and/or emerging BRG’s and one for those further along on your journey and/or needing to re-launch or re-brand.
2. Join your fellow Disability BRG leaders to celebrate our inaugural Disability BRG Award of Excellence honorees. Hear from those leading the way, learning from those who have travelled the sometimes challenging but always rewarding road.
3. Engage in a simulated session with someone from the corporate eco-system such as the chief marketing officer, head of facilities, human resources, learning and development, technology, etc. The purpose of this session is to learn how to effectively reach out, engage, set expectations and jointly create opportunities between your BRG and the business, making everyone more successful.
