Events in the Community
Submitted by saraneppl on Thu, 04/29/2010 - 3:22pm
Just as we ask other organizations in the community to help spread the
word for all our events, we try to return the favor when other
organizations need a little boost for their programs! Here's what we're currently co-presenting:
On Monday, May 3 (in the evening) Seattle Arts&Lectures welcomes Dr. Atul Gawande, who will speak on "Real Reform: What Is Great Healthcare?" at Benaroya Hall. In a June 2009 article for The New Yorker, Gawande made a case against revenue-driven medicine that has sparked more conversation in the past decade than perhaps any other single piece of writing on the subject.
The Port of Seattle will be examined by the League of Women Voters of Greater Seattle on Thursday, May 6 (in the evening). How do we, the voters of King County, begin to understand the Port and its governing body the Port Commission? How does the Commission balance the public interest with the competitive international business role of the Port?
"Duane Elgin asserts that a growing number of people are saying they are not interested in winning the rat race but rather in joining the human race—with a higher quality of life." The Whidbey Insitute and Antioch University Seattle will host a conversation with Elgin on Friday, May 31 (in the evening). What does a more balanced and sustainable way of living look like? Duane Elgin will also be appearing at The Whidbey Institute on Sunday, May 23.
Sustainable Path Foundation is hosting a series of conversations with local experts titled "Seeking Sustainable Systems" at Town Hall in May, June and September (all take place in the evening). Topics include conversations about green economy, food and eating, and sustainable design.
Finally, Washington Policy Center is gearing up to host their 8th Annual Health Care Conference, featuring Harvard Business School Professor Regina Herzlinger and Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, on June 4. More info to come!
