New Speaker Added! EACE is very pleased to announce that Dr. Gerda Govine has been added as our Tuesday afternoon keynote speaker. Lawler Kang will be our Monday morning keynote speaker.

For the past twenty years, Gerda Govine Ed.D. has dealt with issues of diversity and being perceived as "different" in the workplace. Dr. Govine is currently the CEO of G. Govine Consulting, which specializes in employment discrimination, labor, and workplace issues. Prior to this she was the Executive Director of the Pasadena Commission on the Status of Women. She has experience as an expert witness, litigation consultant, trainer, public speaker and writer. In her presentation to EACE, she will help us to truly “get” how to face, acknowledge, and talk about the “stuff” that blocks open and honest conversation across the diversity divide.

Lawler is the author of the highly-acclaimed book Passion at Work: How to Find Work You Love and Live the Time of Your Life. Lawler has presented to a variety of audiences – corporations, non-profits, and educators. Lawler’s mission is to help others to identify, align and release their passion at work. Not only will his presentation speak to each of us on an individual level but also will assist us in working with those whom we serve.
