Episode 244: My guest Norman Fortenberry, CEO of Great Minds in STEM, discusses the crucial role that DEI (Diversity/Equity/Inclusion) plays in developing the excellent workforce of the future in all areas of STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics). He also discusses how his organization includes a second M, Medical/Health when looking ahead to our needs for high-caliber professionals to advance these building blocks of civilization. Our far-ranging conversation includes why we need to look to non-traditional populations to recruit for STEM, migration, the impact of colonialism, and why this is a global issue, not a US issue. DEI in STEM is essential -- this episode explains why. Does your organization integrate DEI into futurecasting workforce issues? Share a comment!

Episode 243: This week's guest, Michael Randel of Randel Consulting Associates, works with a variety of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations. Based on his years of experience and observations from working with his clients, Michael has created several step by step systems to help his clients, one of which is how to Create a Foundation for Change. Inspired by a quote from Louis Pasteur, this led to him developing the concept of The Prepared Organization because if an organization is prepared, it can handle anything! We talk about his processes, Mackenzie Scott money, and how any organization no matter its size can be prepared for whatever comes its way. Do you think your organization is ready for anything?

Episode 242: This week's guest, Frank Gainer, recently retired Vice President of Meetings at AOTA, is sharing his experiences and wisdom from managing and presenting the AOTA Annual Conference in Orlando, FL. We all know tensions are high in the US right now so our members can be sensitive to policies at the local and state level when heading to the next conference city. AOTA members had concerns about the location, how comfortable everyone would feel, and applied some pressure to "just move the meeting." Rather than shy away from the tough conversations, Frank and his team leaned in and created a wonderful, diverse, celebratory experience. From creating FAQs, to building a true partnership with the local conference committee, to getting specific information from the local CVB on activities for one and all, AOTA had one of the best conferences ever! There's lots to learn from this unique and wonderful experience! Listen in and get ideas for your next conference -- no matter where it is. How do you handle issues when it comes to conferences?
