VIRTUAL WATER COOLER
FEATURING IRINA FURSMAN
What is leadership in loosely coupled systems?
|
|
The Virtual Water Cooler is where HueLife chats about various topics connected to the work we are doing in our team and communities. Since we can't run into you physically at the water cooler in the office, we'll bring the water cooler to you via Facebook Live!
When we shared that our co-founder and newly acronymed Dr. Irina Fursman, Ed. D. completed her Doctorate in Organization Development, we were flooded with support and inquiries about her research. Thus, we decided that this would be the topic for a virtual water cooler session.
Tune in on Facebook Live Tomorrow, April 13 at 9:00am CST to learn more about Dr. Fursman's research on LEADERSHIP IN A LOOSELY COUPLED, MULTI-STAKEHOLDER SYSTEM!

This powerful convening seeks to disrupt cycles of oppression, violence, and poverty through art, community health, education, youth empowerment, and reconciliation discussions.

Through mentoring and learning about what experiences are embedded into a system, we can work to create strong partnerships and foster systems change.

After the death of George Floyd the county was interested in learning how community members felt about the county response. These efforts produced five recommendations, including the recommendation to develop a Community Response Team. The team also works closely with the Equity Action Circle. The County Manager and Emergency Management Team are supportive of this effort.
The purpose of the action planning session is to develop an action plan that will lead to the kick-off of the Community Response Team where staff and community members come together.
