2019 Annual Conference Presenters
Meet the 2019 AMCA Conference Speakers
Lauren Syergy, Topic: Public Speaking
Leroy Sloan, Topic: Ethics in Action
Jesse Sopko, Topic: FOIP, closed meetings
Dr. Jody Carrington, Topic: Leadership
Jessy Lumsden, Keynote
Leroy Sloan - Ethics in Action
Your system is perfectly designed… to get you the results you are now getting. If you desire different results, what investments in ethics will pay the greatest dividends?
Unethical conduct of elected officials and administrators is not rare and the negative consequences of such conduct are significant such as the destruction of careers, loss of reputation, and public confidence. Frequently ethical politicians and administrators are forced to pay at least a portion of the cost of these consequences. In addition, at times the whistle blower suffers as much or more than the ones who have acted inappropriately. Clearly ethics is everyone’s concern and inaction can have a considerable impact on the workplace. Join Dr. Sloan to examine ways to pro-actively build an ethical culture and what to do when standards of behavior or codes of ethics are breached.
Dr. Jody Carrington - Leadership
Dr. Jody Carrington is a Clinical Psychologist who has spent most of her career working with children and families who have experienced trauma. Having grown up in rural Alberta, she worked on the Mental Health Inpatient Units of the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary for 10 years and is now in pleased to be back to a rural setting, working in private practice, speaking around the country, writing a book, and raising her family. Jody is a passionate believer in the power of the relationship with the people we love, lead, and teach. The core of everything she speaks and writes about comes down to this: We are wired to do hard things. We can do those hard things so much easier when we remember this: We are wired for connection.
