The conversations are a partnership of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, Capital Public Radio, and The Sacramento Bee.
Ubuntu Green founder Charles Mason will be co-hosting this week's South Sacramento conversation, May 11th at 6:00 p.m.

Race Talk Blog
Launched on December 1, 2009, the of the blog is to revolutionize thought, communication and activism related to race, gender and equality. Race-Talk has recruited more than 30 extraordinary authors, advocates, social justice leaders, journalists and researchers who graciously volunteered their expertise, their passion and time to deliberately discuss race, gender and equity issues in the US and globally. View the full list Race-Talk.org's contributors. Race-Talk.org "crossposts" with The Huffington Post, Daily Kos and OpEdNews.
The blog serves as a resource and a public forum to facilitate thoughtful but critical discussion on issues of race, ethnicity, social hierarchy, marginalized populations, democratic principles, and social justice. A range of perspectives on these and related issues is not only welcome, but necessary to achieving the desired kind of learning and exchange. Topics range from education, politics, racial equity and pop culture.
The Race-Talk is managed and moderated by the staff at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and is open to all respectful participants. |
Sierra Health Foundation Invites Northern California Nonprofit Executives to Apply for Leadership Program
The Sierra Health Foundation's Health Leadership Program aims to reward, retain, and develop nonprofit leaders in the health and social services sector in Northern California. The program provides intense classroom activity and participatory sessions, team action-learning projects, and peer-to-peer exchange opportunities. Program activities take place in two- and three-day sessions held from October 2010 to March 2011 at the foundation's Sacramento offices. The State Capital Center of the University of Southern California School of Policy, Planning, and Development and the Marshall School of Business deliver the course curriculum.
The program is designed for current and potential executives of health-related nonprofit organizations or public agencies. Sierra Health defines health broadly and generally considers most human service agencies as health-related. Preferred participants will be in management roles and will have a strong commitment to and involvement with their community. Applicants must supervise a team of at least three employees during the course of the program. Participation is open to applicants whose nonprofit organization or public agency serves the people in one or more counties in Sierra Health's 26-county funding region: Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano (eastern), Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne, Yolo, and Yuba Counties.
