Facilitator To Be Announced SCE East Terrace How to be an Effective Board MemberOne of the key components of having a successful organization is to have an effective board. This workshop will discuss the basic components of how to be an effective board member. We will explore the roles and functions of a board, identify major responsibilities of individual board members, discuss the relationship between the board and staff, and identify useful tools and resources to enhance the board’s effectiveness. PresentersHenry Ocampo, MPH, Senior Program Analyst, Office of Minority Health Resource Center, Newark, CA Stan Fong, Board Member, National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance, Atlanta, GA Tower 603 Racial Profiling: How the Policies Do Not Match our RealitiesThe U.S. Department of Justice issued long-anticipated reforms on racial profiling last year, but the guidance falls short of protecting marginalized communities. While they now include important and inclusive protections barring profiling based on national origin and sexual orientation, gaping exemptions remain. Much of the national discourse is around immigrations and national security. We must discuss all these and how they impacts our communities. PresentersLakshmi Sridaran, Director of National Policy and Advocacy, South Asian Americans Leading Together, Takoma Park, MD Suman Raghunathan, Executive Director, South Asian Americans Leading Together, Takoma Park, MD Tower 605 What Makes You a “Male?”This workshop will discuss masculinity from a feminist perspective and spark a discussion about what “being male” entails. We will begin with finding a shared notion of masculinity as defined by society, and then challenge ourselves with uneasy and uncomfortable questions to expand and challenge the idea of maleness and patriarchal hierarchy. These questions will include topics such as homosexuality, bisexuality, trans* identities, and gender non-conforming identities. PresentersSungsub Billy Choo, IMPACT Program, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Christina Adams, Administrative Assistant, National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance, Chicago, IL Tower 713 From the Edges to the Center: Building Community Power – continuedNOTE: This is a 3-hour workshop covering two time slots.

SCE White Oak A The Foundations of Developing Leadership, Recruiting New Members, and Building Movement through One-on-One ConversationsMovements flourish or die by the relationships that exist between their leaders. One-on-one conversations are proven tools for organizers and activists to begin building deep relationships with fellow movement builders in order to keep our work connected, sustained, and powerful. These conversations are used to develop new leaders, so that the same 3 people aren’t always doing all the work, or to recruit new members into your organization. In this session, participants will develop and practice skills necessary to having effective one-on-one conversations. PresentersNick Kor, Leadership Circle, Shades of Yellow, St. Paul, MN Monna Wong, Executive Director, API Equality-Northern California, San Francisco, CA NOTE: This is a 3-hour workshop covering two time slots.
