Summit Workshops
Learn more about our 3 morning workshops on our event page!
- Workplace Cultures of Belonging as a Key Employee Retention Strategy
Led by Jenni Bratulich and Andrew Zhao
A sense of connection and belonging is a basic human need, and a lack of belonging is a key reason why employees leave their places of employment, even if they enjoy the work they do. This workshop will explore the significance of workplace cultures of belonging that are rooted in trust and collaboration, leveraging insights from the successful AmazeWorks/KeyHubs partnership. We will introduce Keyhubs Matrix software as a tool for examining workplace relationships and team dynamics that inhibit or contribute to belonging. Participants will gain practical tools, strategies, and real-life examples to enhance employee well-being and retention in your workplace.
- Seeing Things Whole: A Threefold Perspective on Organizational Challenges
Led by Keri Clifton and Tom Morgan
Seeing Things Whole is a leadership framework that cultivates whole leaders and thriving organizations to positively impact the common good. Through this framework, leaders learn to consider their values and strengths while seeking input and perspectives in order to best understand, reflect, and make decisions on the challenges they face. During this presentation, we will introduce the framework for thinking about our work built on three interconnected dimensions. We will also engage in dialogue around common organizational challenges (like artificial intelligence) and how this leadership model can create organizational success across multiple bottom lines.
- Making Connections through Community Engagement
Led by Jenean Gilmer
Knowing your community is essential for growing and advancing your organization. Augsburg University has worked to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships with neighbors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, nonprofits and community development organizations. Many of those relationships are with the large East African community in Cedar-Riverside, with people hailing from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. We’ll walk the neighborhood to learn how it has changed over time, how we remain responsive to ongoing changes, and talk with people to learn more about their experiences. Cultivating community connections creates cultural and economic wealth and can help build your organization in ways that are sustainable and enduring.

Internet Subsidy Ending Could Lead to Digital Divide Increase
With Congress and the Administration failing to come to an agreement to extend additional funding for the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), April was the last month in which participating households received the $30 credit that they have come to rely on.
As the ACP winds down, a variety of internet service providers are working with customers and partners to offer support. For example, Comcast is offering a range of affordable options to meet the needs of every budget. To learn more about what Comcast is doing check out this blog article.
If you know of households or home businesses that will be impacted by the expiration of the ACP, encourage them to call their provider. For Comcast, folks can call 1-800-XFINITY.
Together we can all do our part to help families and businesses get and stay connected to the internet.
