The Art of Confrontation for People Who Hate Conflict

Confrontation is usually a conversation with heightened emotions and has gotten a negative reputation. A lot of time it is the result of unresolved conflict in the workplace. People find it easier to avoid conflict. Fear of any type of confrontation can be the reason for a lot of distress and unhappiness in the workplace. Fear of confrontation often outweighs the desire to address issues in an open and direct manner. Confrontation does not have to be aggressive and scary at work, it can be an opportunity to learn. If managed properly, it can be the start of a greater trust and understanding amongst the staff. Learning the art of confrontation can respectfully differentiate you among leaders.

The Gift of Play: Giving New Life to Old Playgrounds

The story of Kids Around the World (KATW) and its faith-based mission is inspiring. Since 1994, KATW volunteers have installed approximately 1,000 playgrounds at parks, schools and orphanages in about 80 different countries. Most of the equipment for these playgrounds comes from park and recreation agencies in the United States that have donated their old playgrounds to make way for replacement equipment. KATW's work promotes social equity, conservation, and health and wellness by ensuring access to the benefits of recreation to children in impoverished communities. Recycling playground equipment also promotes the three "R's" of sustainability and conserves space in landfills. This session will discuss and explore the history of KATW, the development of partnerships with governmental and private sectors, the mutual benefits derived from the partnerships, and how your agency can be involved in this effort.

Tree of Life

The City Harrisonburg, Virginia's Urban Wood Program was established in 2018 with the arrival of Emerald Ash Borer beetle, which can damage ash trees. The program adapted to the challenge of managing a forest with 14 percent ash trees and created an opportunity to reutilize the trees, while creating a circular economy in the community. City staff removed more than 1,200 ash during the past three years. This program has a goal to utilize all parts of a fallen tree, keeping it out of the landfill. Smaller limbs are utilized as mulch, larger limbs are processed into firewood, and logs are upcycled to lumber that the agency, as well as other local businesses can utilize. The program creates jobs for the agency staff and other community members who utilize wood products, while generating revenue for the agency. Participants will learn what an urban wood program is, how to establish a program and what roadblocks to expect.
