Weekly Wrap-Up @ the Sustainability Blog

Heading home from a long, but satisfying week in Miami working with prosecutors at our sexual assault institute. But before I get on a plane, I just want to mention a couple things over at the sustainability site:

*A plethora of business management and leadership audio and video podcasts from Harvard Business Publishing (a favorite read of mine)
*An interesting article on retaining an aging nursing workforce
*This month’s Free-Range Thinking and a great piece on using data vs. stories for garnering support

Next week I’m in Baton Rouge at the LaFASA conference (with one of the best conference themes ever), so if you’ll be there, please come say hello. It’s supposed to be snowing in the CLE this weekend, but my understanding is those of you in Mississippi and Texas may be getting it, too, so I don’t feel as bad. Have a safe (and warm) weekend, everyone!

The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence is hosting a webinar December 17th from 2-3:30 pm ET, Violence in the Lives of the Deaf: Unique Challenges. Participation is free, but registration is required. If that time slot doesn’t work for you, it’s being repeated on December 18th from 10-11:30 AM ET. I’m afraid I don’t have additional information on this offering, but the topic is an important one, and it should be well worth your time.

Sexual Assault

Violence & Exploitation Against Women & Girls

I love when I run into interesting information from previously unexplored sources. The New York Academy of Sciences has archived materials from a conference put on in November 2005, Violence and Exploitation of Women and Girls. This is a particularly interesting one because the site provides media, as well as related resources and a report generated from the proceedings. Although this is a few years old, there’s a lot of information here, so it’s worth sifting through it to see what’s useful in your own work.
