Book:
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros Synopsis: "...the coming of age story of Esperanza Cordero, a preadolescent Mexican American girl (Chicana) living in the contemporary United States. A marked departure from the traditional novel form, The House on Mango Street is a slim book consisting of forty-four vignettes, or literary sketches, narrated by Esperanza and ranging in length from two paragraphs to four pages. In deceptively simple language, the novel recounts the complex experience of being young, poor, female, and Chicana in America. The novel opens with a description of the Cordero family's house on Mango Street, the most recent in a long line of houses they have occupied. Esperanza is dissatisfied with the house, which is small and cramped, and doesn't want to stay there. But Mango Street is her home now, and she sets out to try to understand it." -eNotes.com
Professional/Leadership Development Workshop
January 13, 2010, Wednesday
Ernest Cockrell Jr. Hall (ECJ) 10th Floor Conference Room Noon - 1:00p.m.
Topic:
Keeping Your Talent Alive Description: The workshop will discuss Succession Planning. Assessing your organizational talent pool is a crucial step in determining what your business will need in knowledge and technological skills for the future. A talent pool program helps in hiring new employees, growing talent, and retaining talent. Most importantly, understanding what the organization wants and expects vs. what the employee wants and expects, will direct you by aligning employees’ needs with organizational goals. The 21st century demands change and a well developed and implemented succession plan helps keep your organization from doing business the way you "have always done it" and puts you in the forefront of a competitive global marketplace.
