    "Mindfulness: One Pillar of Leadership Excellence"

    Fort Pierce Yacht Club, 700 N. Indian River Drive, Fort Pierce
    March 15, 2019, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
    ICMA Practice Areas 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 13 and 14

    Mindfulness isn’t a common practice in local government, yet the lack of it is emphasized by the issues caused by the current hurry up, do it faster and cheaper model, even at the cost of civility in the workplace. Mindful leadership emphasizes so many things that matter for good leadership such as “see the big picture.” “think systematically,” “pause and consider the longer term consequences” and “don’t overreact.” Do we always pay that much attention? A recent Harvard study revealed that mindful leaders are more effective, get better results and are more respected by their employees. When leaders actively engage in mindfulness practices, the “psychological capital” of an organization rises. This is a wonderful opportunity for managers and key staff members to attend an FCCMA program together and reflect on their own leadership style and the culture they are helping to established within their organization.

    "Enhancing Education in Your Community: Using a Business Action Team"

    Jim Ward Community Center, 301 NW 46 Ave., Plantation, FL

    ICMA Practices 2, 8, 9, 10

    Public education (K - 12) is one of the most important services provided at the local level; yet, since it is deemed a County School Board responsibility, many Florida city and county governments don't understand what they can do to positively impact this service. This session will provide an overview of how the public education systems impact our communities and their ability to attract quality businesses. It will explain why and how Businesses, Cities, Counties, and School Boards need to work together to advocate for public education and the benefits of the collaborative "Business Action Team" model. Panelists include representatives from the Broward County School System, the Broward Workshop, the Early Learning Coalition of Broward, and the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Alliance.

    Speakers
    Bob Swindell, President & CEO, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance; Anthony Abbate, Associate Provost for Broward Campuses, FAU; Lucille Flynn, Curriculum Supervisor, Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education, Broward County Public Schools; Carol Lopez, Supervisor for College & Career Readiness, School Counseling & Brace Advisement; and James F. Griffin II, Principal, Lauderdale Lakes Middle School

    The cost to attend is $49/$15 for students. Breakfast and lunch are included. Breakfast will be available at 8:30 am. Deadline to register is March 22nd. Click here to register online.
