SUMMARY:Leadership During Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Consider taking 53\,000 students across six campuses across metro-Atlanta from in-person to on-line classes in two weeks while maintaining the quality of education. Add this to the equation: ensuring the safety of students\, faculty\, staff and community at the largest university in the state. All of this in a recently merged university with five satellite campuses.\nThis is not management; it requires leadership.\n\nJoin the World Affairs Council of Atlanta for a chat with Georgia State University President Mark Becker\, Ph.D\, whose background could not be more appropriate. Dr. Becker’s academic training is as a biostatistician. At the University of Minnesota he even served as assistant vice president of public health preparedness and emergency response. President Becker will discuss his insights on leading during the most chaotic period Atlanta has experienced since 1864 and how he is enabling GSU to continue its mission in times of a global pandemic. \n\nThis online program is a membership benefit.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Art of Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop: \nWhen it comes to negotiating\, what’s your approach? Ideally it helps to have a plan before a negotiation activity\, however the focus of the workshop will be expanding your knowledge of the criteria to consider when you find yourself in a negotiating situation. \nWhat are the ‘elements’ to consider in negotiating? What are the fundamentals or ‘basics’ of negotiating? How does the role of a ‘relationship’ affect the negotiation? How important is it to ‘ask’ questions during the negotiation? \nAbout the speaker: Frank Rodriguez\, Jr. \nAbout the speaker: Frank is a business development/sales entrepreneur with the following experience: petroleum geologist\, natural gas marketer\, energy broker\, upstream technical recruiting\, and upstream technical sales. Frank’s negotiated deals on behalf of energy service companies (marketing\, upstream technical consulting/technology) to oil & gas operators\, from majors to small independents. Frank’s current clients include DeepCast.ai (Field/Rate Transient Analysis: Physics-AI)\, Kingsfield Services (completion chemicals)\, and CK Polymers (drilling/production chemicals). The workshop will include negotiating scenarios from Frank’s experience working in the energy industry. \nWho should attend: \n· Leaders who would like to improve their understanding of the negotiation process \n· Technical personnel interested in learning how to be comfortable with negotiating. \n· Aspiring hiring managers seeking new ideas to enhance their overall performance.

SUMMARY:The Gender Dynamics of Pandemics
DESCRIPTION:Transmissions of COVID-19 in developing countries and those experiencing ongoing humanitarian emergencies are on the rise.\n\nFighting this pandemic with resources and strong government institutions has proved to be challenging even in countries such as the UK and the U.S.\, imagine this scenario in the developing world where reality is a tale of constrained resources and lack of basic infrastructure.\n\nThen comes the social norms in these developing countries where women and girls come last.\n\nSocial norms\, such as expectations that women and girls are responsible for doing domestic chores and nursing sick family members\, can expose women and girls to greater health risks during COVID-19. CARE USA works in humanitarian relief in these developing countries and now they have the difficult task to ensure that these women and girls are protected from becoming easy targets of this pandemic.\n\nJoin the World Affairs Council of Atlanta via Zoom to discuss with Camille Davis\, Senior Manager\, Humanitarian Resource Mobilization\, CARE USA\, the implications that COVID-19 will have on gender equality in the developing world.\n\nOrganized by the Young Leaders Executive Board. OPEN TO ALL.

SUMMARY:Why Are There No Face Masks?
DESCRIPTION:The shortage of face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) is real.\nThe situation has become so dire that some health care workers have resorted to unprecedented (forced) break in protocol by wearing bandannas for masks and trash bags for gowns.\n\nHow is this happening in the United States?\nThe global just-in-time supply chain might be appropriate for blue jeans but does it make sense for vital medical supplies? China\, the first nation to shelter in place because of COVID-19\, produces half of the world’s masks.\n\nRobert Abernathy\, former Chairman & CEO of Halyard Health Inc. – a pharmaceutical and medical products supply company that produces surgical masks and gowns – will unpack this crisis that further complicates the fight against this global pandemic and share thoughts on what a supply chain “fix” would look like.\n\nThis online program is a open to all.
