Participants for WROE Module 4

Module 4 of the Western Region Organizational Effectiveness Training is quickly approaching. We look forward to seeing everyone in Denver, Colorado on January 8, 2008. Posted below are 4 articles we are asking you to read prior to your arrival in Denver. The articles are:

1. The Pressure to Cover
2. White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See correspondence through Work in Women’s Studies (1988)
3. Letter From a Birmingham Jail
4. How Did You Get to Be Mexican? A White/Brown Man’s Search for Identity

The main components of Module 4 are understanding/managing change, conflict management/resolution and understanding/appreciating differences. These articles should serve as catalysts for small and large group discussions during the module.

In addition to the articles, please take a few minutes to review the following chapters from the Carnevale book, Organizational Development in the Public Sector:
Chapter 3- The Issue of Change and Chapter 6 -Conflict and OD.

We are wishing everyone Happy Holidays and look forward to seeing you in Denver.
