SUMMARY:Informed Opinions: Writing Compelling Commentary to Extend Your Influence
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT SCWIST AND THE SCALE PROJECT:\nFounded in 1981\, the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) has a proud history of empowering women and girls in STEM (science\, technology\, engineering and math). SCWIST (www.scwist.ca) envisions an environment where girls and women pursue their interests\, education\, and careers in STEM without barriers. This Informed Opinions workshop is offered to SCWIST members\, community partners and gender equality advocates as part of the new SCALE project funded by the Government of Canada’s Department of Women and Gender Equality (WAGE). The SCALE project – SCWIST Connects\, Advocates and Leverages Expertise – will expand STEM diversity for economic empowerment across Canada. SCALE will increase SCWIST’s impact by improving organizational effectiveness\, financial sustainability\, partnership reach and advocacy. STEM is the powerhouse of the economy and our future – and through the SCALE project\, SCWIST will create pathways for highly trained STEM women to contribute their knowledge and skills. \n“Informed Opinions gives you the recipe to write clear\, direct and compelling pieces on issues that matter and deserve a wide audience. My published op ed generated an enormous response.”\n– Workshop Participant \n \nINFORMED OPINIONS WORKSHOP: WRITING COMPELLING COMMENTARY TO EXTEND YOUR INFLUENCE\nThis highly interactive workshop for STEM professionals and gender equality advocates builds leadership capacity\, enhances credibility and extends influence. It provides participants with the confidence and tools to contribute their expertise and vision to the public discourse through compelling\, short-form written commentary – for newspaper op ed pages\, blogs\, newsletters and online sites. This engaging 3 hour session will equip you to: \n\nOwn and articulate your authority as an expert\nRecognize and address the systemic undervaluing of women’s expertise by both society and women themselves\nUnderstand the difference between speaking for yourself versus speaking on behalf of an organization\nUnderstand the essential elements and format of effective commentaries\nLearn how to build a concise\, persuasive and accessible argument to engage your target audience\nIncrease and extend your influence by linking your expertise with current issues to enhance the relevance and timeliness of your knowledge\nSubmit your work to online\, media and print editors\n\nWriting Compelling Commentary is an interactive workshop that walks participants through applying a series of steps and tools to a specific topic that they would like to engage a broader audience. You’ll be expected to arrive at the session with: \n\nA topic relevant to your context or organization (e.g. a current issue in STEM\, a way to advance gender equality\, how to overcome a barrier to success\, a policy you want to advocate for\, a global issue that needs attention)\nAn understanding of what you want people to think or believe after reading your op ed or blog article\nA one-sentence “thesis statement” about your topic (e.g. “Advancing more women in STEM has a measurable impact on research innovation”; “Diversity policies need to create an inclusive workplace culture where everyone can thrive”; “Taking action on climate change requires more than small\, incremental steps”)\n\nDuring the workshop\, you will have the opportunity to write sections of your compelling commentary\, so if you prefer to compose material on a keyboard\, please bring your laptop (well-charged due to limited power outlets in the room). \nSPEAKER\nShari Graydon \nAbout Shari\nShari has spent more than 25 years shamelessly exploiting media to draw attention to issues she knows and cares about. Now she motivates and trains others to do the same\, delivering highly-rated conference keynotes and practical workshops across the country.

Since 2010\, she has helped amplify the voices of thousands of women across Canada\, supporting them in sharing their insights with a broader public.

A former newspaper columnist\, TV producer and commentator for CBC radio and TV\, Shari also served as press secretary to a provincial premier\, and as president of MediaWatch. She’s a proud alumna of the University of British Columbia (Theatre) and Simon Fraser University (Communications)\, where she also taught.

Royalties from her edited collection\, I Feel Great About My Hands – And Other Unexpected Joys of Aging benefit Informed Opinions. Her newest book\, OMG! What if I really AM the best person? offers purse-size inspiration for knowledgeable women whose voices deserve to be amplified. \nTIME AND LOCATION\nDate: Wednesday February 12\, 2020 \nLocation: Atrium – Room 825 (8th Floor)\nBCIT Downtown Campus (next door to SCWIST office)\n555 Seymour Street\, Vancouver BC V6B 3H6\nBCIT Downtown Campus is close to major transit stops (and with convenient underground parking) \nWorkshop Agenda:\n5:30 pm Registration\, Networking and Working Dinner Buffet (sandwiches\, fruit\, desserts)\n5:50 pm SCWIST Introductions and SCALE Project\n6:00 pm Informed Opinions Workshop Starts\n9:00 pm Workshop Ends \nPlease Register by February 6 in order to assist with our catering. \nPHOTO AND VIDEO CONSENT\nPlease be advised that photographs and videos will be taken at the event and may be used by SCWIST on their website\, marketing materials\, and other publications.By being at this event\, you consent to SCWIST\, to photograph and use your image and likeness.Grant of rights: You irrevocably and wholly grant SCWIST the exclusive use of your name\, voice\, picture\, and likeness as recorded during this event.

SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In our fifth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” by Ann Innis Dagg. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss the origins of the first\, and least well know Canadian girraffe scientist – Ann Innis Dagg. This memoir explores Ann’s trailblazing travels to Africa to observe and study giraffe in the wild. She beat Jane Goodall to Africa by 4 years! This is a must read for anyone – especially to learn about this amazing and accomplished Canadian scientist!! \nWe will do a quick overview of the book at the beginning of the session followed by a deeper discussion. It is suggested to read the book\, but we welcome you to attend and contribute to the discussion either way. All voices and perspectives are welcomed. \n“Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” is available online and in select book stores\, and or may be ordered in by your favourite bookstore. Watching the movie is also a great option if you prefer a visual story (Available on Crave if you have a subscription). \nFAQs \nAbout the STEMminist Book Club Vancouver chapter: \nThe plan is to mirror the STEMminist Bookclub that was started in Australia by Dr. Caroline Ford (@DrCFord). We will aim to read one book every two months followed by an in-person meeting here in Vancouver\, BC. You are also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc (we don’t always read the same book as the online discussion). \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nUpdate: We have received funds from SCWIST to provide treats! Book lending to come for future events. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nFree street parking in the surrounding area. \nBusing:\n99 bus\, walk or bus up Granville St from Broadway to 16th Ave\n33 bus\, walk up McRae Ave. \nWhat can I bring into the event?\n \nWe welcome you to bring your children.

SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In our fifth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” by Ann Innis Dagg. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss the origins of the first\, and least well know Canadian girraffe scientist – Ann Innis Dagg. This memoir explores Ann’s trailblazing travels to Africa to observe and study giraffe in the wild. She beat Jane Goodall to Africa by 4 years! This is a must read for anyone – especially to learn about this amazing and accomplished Canadian scientist!! \nWe will do a quick overview of the book at the beginning of the session followed by a deeper discussion. It is suggested to read the book\, but we welcome you to attend and contribute to the discussion either way. All voices and perspectives are welcomed. \n“Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” is available online and in select book stores\, and or may be ordered in by your favourite bookstore.
