On December 15, 2014 NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights hosted an open dialogue on the National Action Plan on Responsible Business Conduct.
As the White House continues to develop the National Action Plan over the course of 2015, U.S. officials will attend a series of events hosted by independent organizations where stakeholders will be able to provide input on the National Action Plan process and content. Officials outlined current U.S. initiatives and plans to develop an effective national action plan in line with international standards. The New York consultation was the first in this series. Similar events will be held in California, Oklahoma and Washington, DC throughout 2015.

North Carolina area colleges, universities, and vocational schools convened at University City Regional Library to provide families with opportunities to speak with school representatives, take home educational resources, learn more about college life, and explore educational pathways. Financial aid experts from College Foundation of North Carolina kicked off the College and Career Fair with options on how to apply and pay for college. And local professionals spoke with families about alternative careers such as dancing, photography, theatre, and more. Over 300 families received “college knowledge” to prepare their teens for success and lifelong learning!
Throughout the day, children engaged in activities dedicated to Community Helpers. An officer from Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department’s Bears Behind the Badge even visited to read to children during family storytime! Free popcorn and a drop-in dance session from a career panelist rounded out some of the fun activities families enjoyed.

I'm not sure what this was about. Possibly the plate umpire Bruce Dreckman was nicked by a foul ball.
The current incarnation of the Kentucky State Capitol is the fourth. It's a gorgeous beaux arts building. The cornerstone was laid in 1906 and construction (and first sessions) was completed (and convened) in 1910.
Both the interior and exterior are stunning. In the rotunda, there's a statue of President Lincoln (born in Kentucky in 1809, not too far from Frankfort) in the center that prevents perfectly symmetrical shots of a beautiful cupola -- though not complaining at all -- along with 4 other figures in the "corners": Alben Barkley (President Truman's VP), Henry Clay (the "Great Compromiser" and "Kentucky's Favorite Son"), Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy), and Dr. Ephraim McDowell (pioneer in abdominal and gynecological surgery). There's also a bust of Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame) behind one of the staircases, but I'm afraid I missed that...
Also, there are permanent exhibits of dolls of the First Ladies of Kentucky and rotating exhibits in cases just off the rotunda.
Once on the second (or third) floors, you get gorgeous symmetrical views of the main corridor, most of which is made of Vermont granite. (The base of the exterior of the building is also Vermont granite, and the rest of the exterior is Bedford limestone.
As far as offices go, the Governor's office is on the south side of the rotunda on the first floor. The second floor has the Supreme Court on the east wing and the State Reception Room on the north side. The third floor has the House chamber (not pictured, as they were in session) on the east and the Senate chamber on the west.
The grounds of the capitol were planned by Frederick Law Olmsted and sons (Central Park, New York City designers), though financial pressure led them to abandon a bit. What's here, though, is beautiful. The Executive Mansion is on the grounds just ENE of the capitol, and was modeled after Marie Antoinette's palace at Versailles, France. There are also beautiful floral arrangements that frame the buildingnicely.
The National Commission hosted its inaugural meeting in November, 2016 in Washington D.C. The commissioners were joined by their colleagues on the Council of Distinguished Educators, Council of Distinguished Scientists, Youth Commission, Partners Collaborative, and Funders Collaborative as part of a deliberate effort to bridge perspectives and work toward the full integration of SEAD in K-12 education.

Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.
A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.
Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.
“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”
The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries. All panelists encourage aspiring artists to persevere and learn to perfect their craft.
Panel participants included humanitarian/activist/director Bill Duke, CAA agent Cameron Mitchell, senior vice president of production for Columbia Tristar Pictures Devon Franklin, and author and producer Flo McAfee. Ramsey Jay Jr., nationally renowned writer, interviewer and producer, served as panel moderator.
The Hollywood Bureau Symposium was one of several popular events held during Image Awards week. The 45th NAACP Image Awards aired Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on TV One. Check local listings for encore broadcasts.

In October 2018, the Sustainable Southeast Partnership convened for our 5th annual retreat on Prince of Wales Island. We built new workplans, identified areas to collaborate in 2019, discussed how the partnership is growing and reflected on over 6 years of relationship building and collaboration! We toured three SSP communities on the island: Kasaan, Hydaburg and Klawock.
These photographs were taken in Klawock. Klawock is a Tlingit community on Prince of Wales. We toured two local businesses (Wildfish Cannery and Skyanna Coffee), the local hatchery, the Vocational Tech center, Klawock Lake watershed, the totem park and the new veteran pole. We ate at Njord, a new local restaurant and enjoyed delicious meals prepared by Lily Pad. The dance group hosted us for a night with a delicious local dinner and some beautiful dancing.
We are grateful to work in and with Kasaan on reaching cultural, ecological and economic prosperity for our communities and region.
