Tick-Tock 60 Minutes With the Clocks |
|
Sunday, June 19
2:00 pm
Hammond-Harwood House
19 Maryland Ave, Annapolis
Explore the Hammond-Harwood House collection of nine elaborate clocks from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. The tour begins with an in-depth history of timekeeping from sundials to Chinese water clocks. The invention of the pendulum in the 17th century modernized horological devices and a rising artisan class created clocks for elite and middle-class markets as consumer demand expanded. The tour will examine each item, admiring the individual creation of the piece, its decorative design, and the social history connected to it. You will come away from this experience with a better appreciation for what time meant to our ancestors as well as how we tell time today. In partnership with local horologist Stephen Sieracki, Hammond-Harwood House is engaged in a project to bring all nine clocks in the collection to working order.

Special Seminar: This is the Moment to Care: Race, Equity and Belonging |
|
Moving away from a culture that harms, and becoming a culture that cares requires self and collective work. It necessitates letting go of cultural norms that facilitate inequity, like perfectionism, and embracing cultural norms that encourage a sense of belonging, like empathy.
The nonprofit sector, like all sectors, is challenged to understand when harm occurs, how to prevent it and repair it when it happens, and also how to heal in the workplace.
Please join Maryland Nonprofits next June 21, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, for an exploration of Race, Equity, and Belonging within the workplace. This session will feature speakers Danielle Marshall, Founder of Culture Principles, Nyah Vanterpool, Associate Consultant at Maryland Nonprofits, Carmen C. Marshall, Director of Consulting and Chief Equity Officer at Maryland Nonprofits, and Wendy Wolff, Director of Strategic Engagement at Maryland Nonprofits.
