Community Leader Mixer
2015-07-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Arnold’s Tea Room, 502 E Ohio St, Pittsburgh, 15212, United States
Are you a community Leader or aspiring to be one? Join us for food, conversation, and a panel discussion on opportunities for leadership and employment in the Northside. If you haven’t RSVPed yet, you can do so by clicking here.
Context
GTECH is currently running the ReClaim Northside program. Through this program, we’ve trained 14 Northside residents on tactics for reclaiming vacant lots in their neighborhoods. Much of what this program focuses on is giving residents the information and skills they need to become a community leader. What we’ve realized is that many of these skills (connecting, public speaking, organizing, etc.) are also relevant to employment. So, we’d like to dig a little deeper and learn what barriers and opportunities exist for community leadership and employment in the Northside.
The Panelists
Lisa Freeman

Lisa Freeman began the Pittsburgh Struggling Student Association in 2013 to help improve the quality of education at Manchester Elementary School that her children were attending. She has been a previous GTECH ambassador for the North Side, as well as, continuing to intersect her passion for gardening and education through the Mud, Math, & More! summer math camp for struggling learners at Pittsburgh Manchester K-‐8, one of several Northside schools that has been ranked among the bottom 15% of schools statewide by the PDE. Ms. Freeman’s long term success and interest for connecting neighbors to resources has made her a long-standing community leader in the Northside.
Dillon Moore
Dillon Moore joined the staff at Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board (3RWIB) in May 2014. Much of his work involves building an understanding of the regional labor market, workforce development system, and the public policy issues that surround these topics. Dillon also helps manage data analysis and program evaluation efforts of 3RWIB. In the past year, 3RWIB completed a comprehensive study of issues and opportunities for employment on the Northside. Dillon has held previous positions in research at the University of Pittsburgh’s Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership and Center for Metropolitan Studies. He also has experience in research abroad in East and Southern Africa. Dillon has a bachelor’s degree in Geography from West Virginia University and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.
Ebony Harris
Ebony Harris is a long-time resident of the Northside and began LEVELS Coaching for Empowerment and Purpose in 2014. She received a Neighbor-to-Neighbor grant for a quality of employment project that challenges participants to delve deeper into the overall vision of their lives. Her workshops focus on entrepreneurial journeys and self-‐investment to reach and sustain self-sufficiency, accomplishing goals such as homeownership, entrepreneurship, and making career advancements. Ms. Harris was inspired to reach others through empowerment and purpose with positive life skills, including her campaign #PMP2015 – Create-Engage-Transform!, as well as, infusing her love of beauty by organizing collaborative fashion shows in the area.

TEDxPittsburgh

IDEAS THAT BRIDGE THE REGION
TEDxPittsburgh is Pittsburgh’s platform for showcasing the ideas, individuals and innovations that are redefining the Steel City.
Our city is best known for the steel forged on the banks of its three rivers. Bridges and a blue-collar work ethic have come to define our region.
Although present day Pittsburgh is comparatively devoid of iron furnaces and steels mills, our reputation for hard work remains. We’ve replaced the relics of the industrial revolution with corporate headquarters, co-working spaces, art galleries and idea labs.
We are in the midst of a city-wide renaissance. Thanks to the efforts of our city’s incredible network of inventors, entrepreneurs, artists and humanitarians, the innovations taking place in our backyard are once again laying the foundation for the future of our city and the world.
So join us for a day of ideas and inspiration, as 10 locally-grown speakers share unique thoughts and perspectives that connect us to one another.
Your ticket includes not only the speaker session, but also light refreshments throughout the day. TEDx is an independently organized, community-based version of the larger TED-experience.

Rediscovering America's True North: Resurgent Pittsburgh
2015-05-04 08:00 - 11:30 | Energy Innovation Center, 1435 Bedford Ave, Pittsburgh, 15219, United States
The BLK SHP

The BLK SHP (“Black Sheep”) are some of America’s leading creative thinkers, writers, policy-makers, artists and entrepreneurs — and they’re embarking on a bus trip across the United States in search of America’s “True North.” The bus tour will bring leading influencers and doers on a journey into small towns, former industrial heartlands, and into resilient communities to exchange views and sketch out a vision for America’s path forward.
In partnership with Pittsburgh thought leaders, the BLK SHP will engage in conversations around five major themes: (1) the state of new economy in America, (2) the state of government, (3) the state of education, (4) the state of culture and civic society, and (5) the state of our natural environment.
At the end of the tour, they will produce a documentary film and series of articles that sketch out a vision for America’s True North — curated from the stories and narratives of the leaders with which they engaged along the way.

Join the Conversation: The Invitation

The BLK SHP are coming to Pittsburgh on May 4 to learn from local leaders who are working to reinvent Pittsburgh from the ground up — bringing national attention to Pittsburgh’s story.
Engage the BLK SHP for a morning panel discussion uncovering Pittsburgh’s “True North” — through pairings of BLK SHP and local leaders innovating in the fields of new economy, education, and culture & civic society.
