Valuing Black Lives: The Second Annual Global Emotional Emancipation Summit(SM)

2016 Summit Theme:  We Talk. We Tell. We Teach.

Inspired by the African proverb "until the lion has a historian, the hunter will always be a hero," this Summit will continue and build upon Taking Control of Our Destiny, 2015's unprecedented international gathering. That groundbreaking meeting brought together Black leaders from Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, to set us on a course to free ourselves and our children --once and for all-- from the root causes of the devaluing of Black lives and the under-development of Black communities: the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority. Thursday and Friday, September 15 and 16, 2016 Presented by Community Healing Network, Inc. and The Association of Black Psychologists in conjunction with Rep. Karen Bass and the 46th Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Walter E. Washington Convention Center 801 Mt. Vernon Place, N.W. Washington, D. C. U.S.A. This is a working Summit. Our charge is to be action-oriented and solutions-focused.  Click here to read more information about the Summit and the registration process.

Water Security...Global Water Security. Webinar. Tuesday, July 26, 2016

GET INVOLVED!  Be proactive in water security in your community.  

                                Now rather than when an event occurs.

CDS.  CEO.  BEMA

Using Collective Impact to Improve Water Security Tuesday July 26 Time 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST   Please register here to attend the webinar   The U.S. Water Partnership with support from FSG, Inc.will convene a webinar on addressing water security by collective impact approach. The webinar will be presented by Dr. Arani Kajenthira Grindle on Tuesday, July 26 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm (U.S. Eastern).   Achieving water security is a complex challenge. Across the U.S. and around the world, communities are struggling to balance water usage between four competing needs: human well-being, economic activities, ecosystem health, and climate resilience. Yet many of our typical responses – rationing, price increases, infrastructure investment,  or new management approaches – are falling short. Achieving a long-term, sustainable balance between competing needs at a watershed level requires a combination of strong governance structures, adequate financing, and structured cooperation between cities, regions, and states, as well as basin-level water users, most easily developed through open and inclusive dialogue, and shared decision making. The collective impact model for structured collaboration offers a new approach to address complex problems such as water security. It recognizes that such complex social challenges are not caused – and therefore cannot be solved – by any single sector, agency, or organization. It builds on more traditional partnership models in the water sector such as integrated water resources management (IWRM), bringing the government, nonprofit, philanthropic, and corporate sectors together as equal partners with community-level water users to actively coordinate efforts, change behavior, and share lessons learned. This 30-minute webinar will provide a brief introduction to collective impact approach, describe the necessary mindset shifts for successful collaboration, and offer concrete examples of how this model can enhance existing partnerships in the water sector, as well as an opportunity for Q&A.  PRESENTER BIOGRAPHY Arani Kajenthira Grindle, PhD Associate Director, FSG, Inc. Arani is based in FSG’s Boston office and has extensive experience engaging and advising philanthropic, nonprofit, and corporate actors in their strategic planning and collaborative efforts. At present, Arani is managing two global collective impact engagements; one is focused on addressing human slavery, land rights, and environmental degradation issues in the Brazilian Amazon, while the other aims to address child welfare and protection issues in Cambodia. Over the past year, Arani has also managed and supported three other collective impact initiatives: improving early childhood education outcomes in Houston, Texas; increasing social mobility in Israel; and improving maternal and infant health outcomes in Staten Island, NY. Prior to FSG, Arani was  Research Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she managed research projects focused on the water use implications of food and energy production in arid states, particularly in the Middle East. In this role, she also specifically explored water security and management challenges in the São Francisco river basin in Northeast Brazil. Arani has practical experience in environmental consulting from GeoSyntec, and multiple years of international development experience from her involvement with Engineers Without Borders. A Rhodes Scholar, Arani holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford focused on the remediation and risk management of mercury-contaminated groundwater, and a B.Sc. in Biological Engineering from the University of Guelph (Canada).
