2020 GlobalMindED
The Future of Work is Diverse, Inclusive, Just and Equitable
GlobalMindED closes the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline through connections to role models, mentors, internships for low-income students, returning adults, First Gen to college and inclusive leaders who teach them, work with them and hire them.

Diversity Lessons in Tech: Are we getting an F or a D? |
|
Our Tech Equity team and several sessions impacting the TECH talent pipeline, linked below, give voice to those who share what it was like to be the one and only or one of few in these major companies. We’ve also included our Foundations and Funders Equity link as the money will have to start moving differently for the people on the ground to make the impact needed in a COVID-caused time crisis. In addition, let’s ask Tech companies to consider:
1) Set up outposts in Detroit, New Orleans, Cleveland, Houston and other diverse, non coastal locations. Move to diverse locations; don’t make the talent move.
2) Invest in the pipeline of K-12/16 in diverse locations. You can’t recruit, retain and promote diverse talent when drops are coming out of that talent pipeline. Organizations like GlobalMindED focus on this in ways that are multi-pronged, impacting the K-16 employment talent pipeline.
3) Remove barriers to on the ground leaders implementing programs so that their time is spent in service to their audience, not in service to reporting back to the Tech Foundation.
4) Measure yourself. How many diverse leaders are on your Board, in your C-Suite and in your company? What is your strategy to change that from wealthy circles of privilege to talent from rural and poorer neighborhoods?
5) Evaluate. What has not worked the last few decades that has resulted in fewer women and diverse talent succeeding in your organization? Why have diverse people left and how are you addressing this reality so that the patter doesn’t continue?

GlobalMindED and the SDG Impact Fund are delighted to announce GlobalMindED's Donor Advised Fund. 2020 is the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and the 25th Anniversary of the Beijing Women's Declaration and Action Platform. Many from around the world are thinking of 2020 as the gateway to our most vital decade for delivering equity, the Sustainable Development Goals, and a world where all can thrive. Our key time for these outcomes is 2020-2030.
GlobalMindED DAF and the SDG Impact Fund are a powerful combined force for good as the 2019 year comes to a close and we reflect on the gratitude and the commitments we make to the causes we care most about. The DAF offers immense power and flexibility for giving prior to the year's end as you plant seeds of generous intention for 2020 and the decade ahead.
When you contribute to GlobalMindED, you support First Gen students. We have served more than 400 students by connecting them to role models, mentors, internships and jobs. Your generous support will allow us to take our work 10x and reach these talented students at scale who lack the resources and support we provide. Your support also helps teachers who can't afford the conference fees, faculty at colleges which are under resourced and students who persist at those universities despite food insecurity and/or housing insecurity.

THE FLYOVER NATION
Energy's Role in a Troubled Heartland
By J.C. Whorton
A unique and timely discussion of the challenging issues facing the country’s troubled Heartland.
Since the beginning of westward expansion into the Heartland’s vast regions, natural resource development has played a historic role in shaping its communities. Today, domestic oil and gas development offers one of the strongest prospects for the Heartland’s present and future prosperity as well as the nation’s re-emergence as a dominant player in the global energy economy.
The U.S. is now the world’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, two circumstances that are universally disrupting international geopolitical order. The earth has a finite supply of natural resources and a rapidly growing and over consuming population.
As America positions itself for a very uncertain and constantly evolving global marketplace, will the Heartland become America’s “great connector” or “great divide”?
