We have all read the statistics on the changing demographics of our population. Now more than ever, our workplaces and the communities we serve are filled with individuals with differing generational views, ethnic backgrounds, educational levels, and professional knowledge.

As L & D professionals, we are committed to bridging those differences in our organizations. Our intentions are in the right place, but we can’t be experts in every culture. How can we have the impact we desire?

Whether you’re a long-time member or new in town, please join us for our annual Sierra Club Shindig! Everyone is welcome!

We’re throwing a party with great speakers like Mayor Sam Adams and national Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune! Enjoy great food, beer/wine, kids activities and more!
