Hello all,
Welcome to March!
Days are getting longer and warmer... and we get to celebrate Women's History Month along with numerous wonderful religious holidays, college spring breaks, and spring basketball tournaments. I hope that you can rejoice in the positive things around you, despite the world's uncertainties and dangers.
Knowing that AI is such a pressing topic for many of us right now, I want to remind you of the upcoming professional development opportunity next week.
On Wednesday March 11, from noon to 1 pm, Karen Catlin, founder of Better Allies, will be delivering a keynote address, with live chat and Q&A, free to all of us through the generous support of the SUNY ODEI along with SUNY CPD, SUNY SICAS Center, the Computer Officers Association (COA), and the SUNY Council of Chief Information Officers (CCIO).
Karen has also been tracking the potential of AI to help or hinder allyship and recently published some tips:

So, if you haven't already... Register now online through the CPD! And share this information with everyone you know in SUNY!
The Better Allies Way (1 hour Keynote)
Create the culture you want (and others need). In this interactive keynote, Karen introduces her 7 Ally Archetypes—Sponsor, Champion, Amplifier, Advocate, Scholar, Confidant, and Upstander—and explores practical ways anyone can step up to create a workplace where everyone can do their best work and thrive.
Topics include:
- Creating better meetings to unleash talent
- Addressing bias employees can face when using AI
- Providing effective feedback to support career growth
- Building meritocratic and fair hiring practices
All the best,
Holly
