About Leading in an Emergency
Leading in an Emergency is a series of interactive educational opportunities built to strengthen leadership skills of individuals who work within nonprofit organizations in the state, in turn creating stronger organizations and communities. Programming begins January 20, 2022 and includes both in-person workshops and live webinars. Leading in an Emergency is provided at no cost to participants, however, pre-registration is required and spots are limited.
“Our intention is to assist nonprofits and our communities to be best prepared for unexpected challenges or crises,” said Melody Kellogg, Director of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. “The diverse programming will cover a range of detailed topics pertaining to emergency preparedness, mindful leadership and key mental health issues that will be beneficial to many individuals and organizations.”
Programming includes a six-part, live webinar series presented by Krista Scammahorn and Meridian Technology Center, “Mindful Leadership During Times of Crisis.” Scammahorn is an author, trainer, speaker and consultant of business training with more than 20 years of experience. The series will cover topics including “What is Mindful Leadership and Why is Mind Management Needed?,” “Focus and Attention Control,” and “Reducing Stress and Burnout with Mental Toughness, Grit and Resilience” and will take place once a month from January to June.
“Emergency Preparedness” in-person workshops will be presented by Rebecca Elder and will provide tailored content for nonprofits such as libraries, museums and archives with information focused on preparing for and responding to emergencies that might impact their unique records and artifacts. Elder has more than 15 years of experience as a cultural heritage preservation consultant and also serves as an adjunct instructor at Kent State University and The University of Texas at Austin. Workshops will take place at four locations across Oklahoma May 23-26. Participants may choose to attend one in-person workshop, with a maximum of 25 participants per workshop. This content will also be available as a three-part live webinar June 14, 21 and 28.
