Thanks for the shoutout, United Way Blackhawk Region! We're glad to hear you had a good experience hosting your meeting at BPL. Come back again soon!

There is always space between what happens to you and how you respond.

That one idea anchored today’s Nonprofit Leadership Workshop, hosted at the Beloit Public Library and led by our own Dr. Dennis Pauli, Interim President and CEO of United Way Blackhawk Region.

Leaders from across our region worked through the 5 Voices, named the triggers that surface under stress, and practiced building new patterns instead of repeating the ones they regret.

Big thanks to Nick Dimassis and the Beloit Public Library team for opening their doors and taking such good care of this group.

United Way mobilizes communities to action, and that starts with leaders ready to show up well for their teams and their neighbors. 💙

If you missed last week’s special presentation of The Civics Academy, you can now watch the recording on BPL’s YouTube page: https://youtu.be/jb69qkHSAVk. Art Harrington, environmental law attorney and adjunct energy law professor, discusses why Wisconsin is attracting data center development, their potential economic benefits, the impacts they have on energy use and the environment, and the steps he believes communities should take before agreements are made.

Watch Accurate Information about Data Centers: Economic, Energy, and Environmental Impacts, and find archives of recordings and presentation slides from past The Civics Academy and KYLG programs on the BPL website: https://beloitlibrary.org/about-us/civicsacademy/archives/
