Staff Notes Daily Calendar Events

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to join the seventh webinar of the Community Climate Intervention Strategies Project Webinar Series, Understanding Climate Change Impacts to Inform Climate Interventions Strategies on Thursday, August 6th from 9-11am MDT (GMT - 6). The agenda is as follows:

Roy Rasmussen (NCAR): “Recent improvements in the simulation of high-impact events using convective-permitting models”

Andy Parker (SRMGI): “Lessons from the DECIMALS Fund - the world’s first SRM modelling fund for developing countries"

Jessica Gurevitch (Stony Brook University): “Potential ecological risks and impacts of solar radiation modification and why you should pay attention to this” You can register for webinar #7 through Zoom here.

Government or other entity staff not using Zoom in an official capacity can join us on your personal device, or dial in using the phone numbers listed in your registration confirmation - presentation slides and a YouTube livestream link will be shared via email and on the webinars website prior to the meeting so dial-in participants can follow along. If you missed the previous webinar on Communication, Education and Outreach, or would like to review any other project information, webinar video recordings, written summaries and the upcoming schedule are available on our webpage. Best regards, the CCIS Workshop Organizing Committee

You're invited to the third in a series of three virtual summits hosted by the UCAR/NCAR Workforce Management team. This cross-organization team is taking a close look at what our workforce needs will be within the next 10 years to ensure NCAR/UCAR remains a strong and relevant influencer in the global ESS community.

The team is holding three virtual summits to gather staff input that will guide implementation strategies for UCAR’s Workforce Management Plan. All three summits will cover the same topics and follow the same agenda, but each one will approach the topics from the perspective of a different career stage: early, mid-, or late career.

You’ll have the chance to share your thoughts on topics such as:

• Talent acquisition
• Talent management, career development, and retention
• Performance management
• Succession, retirement, and legacy planning
• Organizational structure/working environment

REGISTER TO ATTEND:

• September 3, 1-5 p.m. Register: LATE-CAREER Workforce Summit

Because many factors other than years of experience can play a role in determining an individual’s career stage, the Workforce Management team has chosen to not define the stages and instead asks participants to self-identify.

*Any staff member, regardless of their career stage, may participate in any of the summits (and may register for more than one).*
