Local Events Roundup

October is a busy month for several of the local professional organizations I'm involved with. There are a couple of worthwhile events coming up that you should consider if you live in the Southern California area.

First up is the Personnel Testing Council of Southern California's Fall Conference on October 20th and 21st. It's a two day extravaganza with a pretty good lineup of speakers, including:

  • Wayne Cascio
  • Cal Hoffman
  • Karen Coffee
  • Lisa Borden
  • Shelly Langan
  • Kristin Olson
  • Scott Letourneau
  • Marina Mihalevsky
  • Malcolm Ree

Click here to download the flyer, and if you can make it there's more information here. I'll definitely be doing a follow up post (or posts) on the event, as there looks like there will be plenty there to spark thought and discussion. Also, I'm told that there may be cake. I'm just glad I get to attend for free on account of my being a PTC-SC officer. Whee!

On a smaller scale is another organization in which I also happen to be an officer, the San Diego I/O Professionals, or SDIOP. We're having our bi-monthly meeting on October 27th, which will include time for schmoozing and a presentation on "Leadership for Inclusion" by Bernardo M. Ferdman of Alliant University. More information is here, and you may notice that it's going to be held at the Jack in the Box corporate headquarters. I'm hoping that Jack will be there, or that he will at least send burgers.

Really interesting footnote: I designed and coded the websites for both PTC-SC and SDIOP. Okay, that's a lie --it's not that interesting a footnote.
