Preparing for the Active Shooter | AUGUST 9
Wednesday, August 9, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
The thought of an active shooter in our business or on our campus strikes fear. What motivates the shooter? How do we respond? Moorhead Police Department Lt. Chris Carey will deliver a presentation on the history of active shooters and the lessons we’ve learned from past events.
What should you expect as a response from the police? Knowing the five stages of an active shooter can assist in prevention. Is your business or campus attentive to employee behavior and doing everything they can to prevent being a target? Do you know how to “harden a target”? Knowing when to run, hide or fight should be a part of every employer’s plan.
This training qualifies for two CPE credits for the ND CPA Society.

Serving with Confidence: Making an Impact on a Board or in Public Service | AUGUST 22
Tuesday, August 22, 3:30 – 5 p.m.
Gender diversity is good for all, especially when it comes to leadership positions for women in corporate America. Whether on a board of directors or in a public service role, women bring value to the table and to their companies and communities.
But how can women add substantial value and not just be the token woman for a checklist? Here, panelists will discuss how you can step up and serve confidently. They’ll discuss how to find opportunities in our own community, how to break into these roles and how to effect positive change once you’re there.
The expert panel is composed of local women who have served on boards and who will share their stories and offer attendees a look inside their roles. The panel will be moderated by American Crystal Sugar VP of Administration Lisa Borgen.
Please consider bringing books to donate to the Jeremiah Program.
