UPCOMING EVENTS !
PAST CONFERENCES
Town Square: Peter Jamero - The Filipino Experience
"Bayanihan: Working Together to Make a Difference", Bayanihan refers to the spirit of communal unity, and is derived from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members assist a family in moving to a new location. The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location. The 16th annual FACES conference Bayanihan: Working Together to Make a Difference captures the bayanihan theme by addressing the challenges/issues we face daily to make a difference in our workplaces and communities. Through the spirit of communal unity we are strengthened and our level of engagement is deepened. PAST MISC. EVENTS
