Employees are invited to attend the “Using Our Internal Resources” professional development workshop Thursday, April 7 in the Fine Arts Center Hospitality Suite. Two identical sessions will be from 8–10 a.m. and 2:30–4:30 p.m.



How can one develop internal resources in your organization to create community and purpose, even in a climate of shortage? A workplace can be a powerful community in a person’s life. When a workplace community engages its members, employees thrive and grow in ways that extend beyond the office. Learn from speaker Katy Smith on how you can develop your own internal resources to create that powerful community and purpose.

Smith is a community educator with undergraduate degrees in social work and parent education from Winona State University. She has a master’s degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse and a master’s degree in Early Childhood Public Policy and Advocacy from Walden University. She was the 2011 Minnesota Teacher of the Year, the first early childhood educator in the state, and the first parent educator nationally to be honored with the award.
