SUMMARY:TD Bank Morning Star Series featuring Christine Porath
DESCRIPTION:The Board of Trade\, together with TD Bank\, has been creating unique opportunities for our members to hear from noteworthy speakers\, authors\, and presenters for the past 15 years through our Morning Star Speaker Series. \nThis October\, we welcome author Christine Porath to share more about her book Mastering Community: The Surprising Ways Coming Together Moves Us from Surviving to Thriving \nIn her powerful new book\, Christine  explores how the rise of technology and modern workplace practices have fractured our communications yet left us always “on” digitally. Through now common practices like hot-desking and remote work\, our human interactions have decreased\, and so too have our happiness levels. This lack of a “human factor” is sparking a crisis in mental health that will have repercussions for years to come\, leaving people lonelier and making the bottom line suffer\, too. What Christine has discovered in her research is that leaders\, organizations\, and managers of all stripes may recognize there is a cost\, but have no idea as to implement the cure: Community. \nWith her signature depth and grasp of research across myriad industries including business\, healthcare\, hospitality\, and sports\, Christine extrapolates from the statistics on the experiences of hundreds of thousands of people across six continents to show us the potential for change. \nJoin us at the Archer Hotel Tysons and learn actionable steps you should implement today to create your own thriving community. \n\nAttendance:\nThis event is expected to have 75-100 members and regional stakeholders\, and will be open to the media. \nEmail events@bot.org with any questions or to purchase additional tickets. \n\nThank you to our sponsor for making this event possible:

SUMMARY:Energy & Resource Constraints Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Gasoline prices set an all-time average high at $5.01/gallon on June 13. In May\, diesel prices set a new record at $5.51/gallon. Both Dominion Energy and Pepco have recently announced rate hikes for electricity costs in our region. Higher prices are straining an already disrupted supply chain.  With peak travel and energy usage times already here\, it’s creating a ripple effect on the economy with a greater likelihood of recession. \nHospitality\, construction\, shipping & logistics\, aviation\, and many other industries feel these impacts. How can the business community mitigate rising costs and still maintain higher profit margins? In this briefing\, our expert panelists will discuss how high energy prices and resource constraints are impacting everything from inflation to increased labor costs\, what steps should be taken to protect your company’s bottom line\, and how to prepare for future disruptions. \nJoin us on July 26th for a strategically important briefing on Energy & Resource Constraints\, the fifth segment of our Emerging Economic Threats Series presented by McGuireWoods LLP. \n
