Bipartisan support for a federal carbon tax is growing, as the recent proposal from senior Republican leaders James Baker, Henry Paulson and George Shultz demonstrates. While Democrats including Senator Sheldon Whitehouse are longtime advocates of a carbon tax, some key Republicans now agree that climate change is a serious threat and a carbon tax is the most efficient solution. Join ASBC for a discussion of the “free-market” Baker-Shultz plan, the possible connection between tax reform and carbon, and other federal carbon pricing proposals.

Ensuring Homes for All: An Equity Primer on Housing ElementsUrban Habitat
Did you know that your city is required by the State of California to create a plan for how it will accommodate future growth and provide housing for all income levels? This plan, the “housing element,” can determine everything from the future location of homeless shelters and apartment buildings (or their exclusion) to protections for tenants.
Right now, cities are beginning to update their housing elements and to show how they will meet regional goals requiring them to produce affordable housing. This public process – which this year may be streamlined or under the radar in many communities – is a key tool for advocates to ensure equal distribution of affordable housing, homes close to jobs and transit, and policies to prevent displacement.
Come hear our panel of experts give you the 101 on the Housing Element process, why you should care, and how you can get involved now.

Laura Thomas, Renewed Hope Housing Advocates

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
