CHAPTER ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING:
It is traditional that our Chapter will hold a short Annual Business Meeting at the beginning of the December event. Please note that the first 15 minutes of this webinar is dedicated for our Chapter President to present our 2024 annual business report and announcements. Our Insight event speaker will present their talk in the same Zoom meeting session immediately following the Annual Meeting. Summary:
Conflict is an inevitable part of project management, but navigating it effectively can strengthen team dynamics and improve project outcomes. Yes, DEAR: Conquering Conflict using DBT introduces project managers to the DEAR MAN technique, an evidence-based interpersonal tool from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This interactive session combines theory with practice, helping attendees learn to approach challenging conversations with clarity, confidence, and emotional regulation Through a hands-on workshop format, participants will explore how to apply the DEAR MAN framework—Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate—in managing conflict and addressing challenging behaviors within their teams. Attendees will gain practical skills they can immediately implement, leading to better communication, enhanced relationships, and more productive outcomes in their project environments.

What to expect: This volunteering work is to help sort and box the fresh produce and healthy groceries that SHSV provides to neighbors in our community. Duties may include sorting and quality control, assembly line work, lifting boxes onto pallets, or unloading produce. Volunteer shifts include clean-up time as well. Please note these shifts are fast paced and active and may require lifting up to 25 pounds.
Second Harvest of Silicon Valley distributes nutritious food to over 500,000 needy people per month in Silicon Valley through food recovery, with the help of a large network of partners, volunteers, and donations. Food rescue, also called food recovery, is the practice of collecting fresh, edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other food establishments and distributing it to local social service agencies. Food rescue is extremely effective because it simultaneously gets food to those who need it most and reduces food waste, minimizing the amount of toxic emissions from food waste in landfills. This volunteering work is for sorting and packing food in boxes that will be distributed by Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB) to needy people.
