Thriving in Times of Turmoil

On November 1, 2010, the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) will hold a training session entitled, “Thriving in Times of Turmoil.” CWLA is a powerful coalition of hundreds of private and public agencies serving vulnerable children and families since 1920. CWLA’s expertise, leadership and innovation on policies, programs, and practices help improve the lives of millions of children in all 50 states. Its impact is on the lives of children and youth felt worldwide.

In these tumultuous times, advocates for children and youth are challenged like never before to succeed in an ever-changing environment. As a leader in the area of child welfare, CWLA has posed the question, “How can we continue to meet out missions despite these challenges?” At this upcoming training, there will conversations concerning effective strategies on how to thrive in these times of economic turmoil.

The training materials indicate that, Thad Levine, the Assistant General Manager of the Texas Rangers major league baseball club will share his insights and perspectives on how the team has managed to have their most successful season in their history despite the overwhelming uncertainty and ambiguity of a team for sale. The afternoon will be devoted to a “Strategic Conversation” on how to apply the Rangers example to our organizations in the areas of leadership, mission focus, adaptability, and public perception.
