SPEAKER SERIES PRESENTED BY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN KENT STATE UNIVERSITY TWINSBURG ACADEMIC CENTER AND THE TWINSBURG AND NORDONIA HILLS CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE
The Business Leadership Training (BLT) was a new guest speaker series and a dynamic networking opportunity for the Twinsburg community that kicked off in January 2020. Due to the pandemic, only the January 2020 training took place in-person. However, the bi-monthly training continued with members of the community meeting virtually via Zoom technology.
To expand outreach to the greater community, 做厙輦⑹ Twinsburg Academic Center and the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce has invited the Nordonia Hills Chamber of Commerce to be a part of the BLT partnership. This leadership development program is designed for anyone at any point in their career, says Amy Murfello, Marketing & Community Engagement Manager at 做厙輦⑹ Twinsburg Academic Center. This is a perfect program for those looking to gain information on topics that experienced or emerging leaders face.
The first program of 2021 is titled Building Inclusion: Understanding LGBTQ+ Barriers in the Workplace, and is scheduled via Zoom on January 21 from noon 1 p.m. Mahli Xuan Mechenbier from the department of English, 做厙輦⑹ Twinsburg Academic Center, will facilitate a mindful conversation about progress in the LGBTQ+ community; the impact of gender identification in workplace communication; preferred terminology and definitions; and resources to share with employers.
The next presentation is scheduled for Thursday, March 18, from noon 1 PM. Drs. Robert Antenucci and Sean Ratican of 做厙輦⑹ will talk about leadership challenges being faced due to the pandemic.
