Seminars at Hadley Presents:  Volunteering in Your Community

Date:  Wednesday, July 23, 2014

Time: 10:00 AM CDT, 15:00 GMT

Have you been thinking about volunteering but just haven’t taken that step yet? Do you volunteer and find you benefit as much as or more than anyone? 

While volunteering can help create positive change in your community, the personal benefits are many! Volunteering can build your skills and your resume; build connections and friendships; and bring fun and fulfillment to your life.

Join Seminars at Hadley as our panel discusses how volunteering has enhanced their own lives while benefiting others and their community. Panelists include Hadley colleagues Sharon Howerton, Patti Jacobson, and Colleen Wunderlich. Ideas for stepping out and stepping up will be shared!

This seminar is an audio presentation. Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.  <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10207074&msgid=728913&act=GE9S&c=225701&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fhadley.edu%2FSeminarDetails.asp%3Fsid%3D238> Register for Volunteering in Your Community on July 23.

Seminars at Hadley Presents: An Insider's Overview of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Date:  Tuesday, July 29, 2014

Time: 10:00 AM CDT, 15:00 GMT

Are you aware that the United Nations recently held a convention on the global issue of the rights of persons with disabilities? Would you like to hear a first-hand account of the proceedings and learn more about the perspectives of the United States delegation? 

Join Seminars at Hadley as Dr. Christie Gilson, noted academic and fifteen-year veteran of the disabilities rights movement, shares her story of being one of the U.S. delegates to the United Nations Convention.

Larry Muffett, a member of Hadley’s Seminars team, will moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.
