The Bosses & Brunch Tour
2018-12-08 12:00 - 16:00
The Bosses & Brunch Tour is an exclusive networking event for female entrepreneurs of all levels and backgrounds. Originating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2018, creator Andrea Williams and her Partners of The Secrets Of A She Boss wanted to create something to give back to their communities.
Secrets Of A She Boss is a book collaboration with 14 female entrepreneurs in all different businesses who decided to link arms to build as many female entrepreneurs as possible, we believe that the future is female. We teach women that you do not have to hate, judge or compete but link arms and change the world together!
Many female entrepreneurs don’t go after their dreams because they have no clue where to start, have no training, no support and can not afford the expensive price that a business coach cost. Bosses & Brunch is a International movement from it’s conception. The Bosses are connecting hundreds of women across the world and given them the tools, resources and confidence to start or expand their business. In 2019 we are traveling to 20 cities across the United States, Canada and Aruba to provide women an afternoon of learning, mingling and mimosas! Are you ready to level up and network with other professionals in your local area? Grab your ticket now!
All Attendees will receive a grab bag sponsored by our sponsors plus a workbook.

Emerging Data on Preventing Gender-Based Violence
2018-11-29 08:30 - 16:30
Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and Southwest PA Says NO MORE present MAKING RESEARCH RELEVANT: RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS DIALOGUE ABOUT EMERGING DATA ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE.
The field of prevention is continuing to evolve. Practitioners are in the field every day, working to shift attitudes and behaviors to prevent the perpetration of abuse and to increase bystander intervention, but are often navigating by instinct and anecdotal feedback. In southwest PA, we are fortunate that Children’s Hospital of UPMC is conducting multiple research studies related to the prevention of sexual harassment, assault and relationship abuse. The CHP Adolescent Medicine research team will present preliminary, unpublished findings from ongoing studies and seek input from practitioners to make meaning of the data. This workshop is a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to come together and dialogue about what is working, what is not, and how these findings can shape ongoing prevention efforts.
This session is designed for professionals engaged in efforts to break cycles of violence and prevent adolescent relationship abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. Because the research findings to be presented are unpublished, all attendees will be required to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure statement. This will protect the ability of researchers to publish findings in the future, for the benefit of the field.
Learning objectives – Professionals will learn:

How widespread gender-based violence is, resources available to them and their patients, and how to help those experiencing such violence.
• To discern appropriate violence prevention strategies and incorporate such strategies
into their work with youth.
To incorporate conversations about violence prevention and safety with patients as part of standard of care.

November 10th Sustainability Salon on Air Quality
2018-11-10 15:00 - 22:00
Enjoy breathing? Our health depends on clean air. The 82nd Sustainability Salon will be our annual fall focus on Air Quality.
Sue Seppi, Project Manager (and former Executive Director) of the Group Against Smog & Pollution (GASP, on whose board I serve) will bring an update on the organization’s legal, education, and advocacy work — including the ongoing lawsuit calling the county to task for spending air quality funding on building renovations, and efforts to bring the region into compliance with hydrogen sulfide standards. Shaena Berlin Ulissi will talk about source attribution analyses: how to quantify air quality and health impacts of air pollution sources. And Conservation Luminary Linda Wigington will be here to share progress and results from the residential monitoring research in the ROCIS project (Reducing Outdoor Contaminants in Indoor Spaces). Stay tuned for more details as the date approaches!
Two other upcoming events of particular interest: Action on climate change will naturally improve air quality. I’ll be hosting a satellite livestream of an Omega Institute program with Project Drawdown and Paul Hawken on October 19th. And the next week, on October 25th, GASP’s latest Making the Connection event will feature researchers linking manganese contamination to children’s IQ.

From Starbucks to Startup- Applying Corporate Skills to Entrepreneurship

Friday, November 09
From Starbucks to Startup- Applying Corporate Skills to Entrepreneurship
8-9:30am
Chatham University Shadyside Campus, James Laughlin Music Center
Sandra E. Taylor, CEO of Sustainable Business International LLC and Falk Professor of Socially Responsible Business at Chatham University, will discuss how corporate experience can be a tremendous asset when launching a new business – deep expertise in a specific field, knowing how to manage teams, good presentation skills and familiarity with strategic planning — long and short-term—and knowing how to drive change as an “intrapreneur” in a large organization. However, making the transition from corporate executive to entrepreneur also requires very different competences to survive and prosper in a small start-up where you don’t have the resources available in a corporate environment. The entrepreneur must learn new skills – and quickly — to be successful. She will share her own story — mistakes to avoid, advice for marketing and client development, as well as the importance of building a brand or re-branding yourself in this new role.

Convivium Gathering: Terra Incognita, a Literary Conference and Workshop
2018-11-09 - 2018-11-11
There is a point of arrival but no way – Kafka
It is undeniable that there is an “unknown” (the geographers of ancient times traced the outline of what amounts to an analogue of this unknown with the famous expression terra incognita that marked the edge of their great sheet – along the margins of the sheet they wrote terra incognita, “unknown land”). At the edge of reality that the eye embraces, the heart feels, and the mind imagines, there is an unknown. Everyone feels it. Everyone has always felt it. Throughout the ages, humans have felt it so strongly that they have also imagined it. In every age humans have sought, through their ponderings or fantasies, to imagine, to fix the face of this unknown. In his Germania, Tacitus described the religious feeling that distinguished the ancient Teutons thus: secretum illud quod sola reverentia vident, hoc deum appellant” (that mysterious thing which they intuited with fear and trembling, this they called God). – Luigi Giussani
To explore the unknown is to encounter monsters, to be afraid, to be lost, to be heartbroken. It can mean a shattering of everything one had held dear. But it can also be revelation, the epiphany of being, the encounter with that which pulls everything else together and makes sense of it.
In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” the strange old man is compelled to tell his story, his account of the visions and tribulations on a “wild, wild sea.” He has to find a listener, so he stops the wedding guest on the way to the feast, and the listener in turn is compelled to hear. This is the power of the stories from the unknown. They must be told. We must listen. So artists and storytellers are forever inconveniencing us, breaking in on our ordinary lives, telling stories that shake our foundations.
Our literary gathering is dedicated to exploring this terrain of the unknown, as it has been indicated and mapped out through literature and the arts, with a particular focus on “that mysterious thing.” The presence of the divine in the undiscovered countries, the terra incognita, will rarely be what one expected to find, or where one hoped to find it. The word one hears may not be what one planned to hear, or was prepared to hear, yet in some way it must have been what you were longing to hear. Otherwise, you could not have heard it.
We will gather as writers, scholars, and readers to discuss the ways in which art has approached the unknown lands, and brought back word of the “mysterious thing.”
At the Gathering
Our main keynote speaker for Convivium Gathering is award-winning novelist Mary Doria Russell.
Other keynote speakers and presenters include poet Ewa Chrusciel, novelist Suzanne Wolfe, teacher Justin O’Connor, and poet Ryan Wilson.
Topics addressed by presenters and panelists will include aging, the terra incognita within, disability in literature, genre fiction as political, women writers who go “outside the bounds,” literary protest, the body as terrain, and the role of mythology in art and music.
