Welcome from Jeff Uyeda...

As president of APSEA, I’m excited to invite you to attend Navigating Leadership Challenges and EEO in a Changed World, November 8, 2012, at California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), Lincoln Plaza North, 400 Q Street, Sacramento, CA 95811.

We chose this focus for our symposium because of the systemic economic pressures that have spearheaded dramatic shifts in government and our economy. These will certainly continue to impact the accessible resources of California, thus increasing the need for quality government services.

Concurrently, we have become a virtual world where the "business of society" is conducted 24/7. In today’s world, the role of government is to increasingly serve society at the convenience of our constituencies, via personal computers, iPhones, androids, iPads, tablets, etc. Technology is the driving force fueling our economy—our financial markets, banking, media and publishing, retail, healthcare, entertainment and virtually all government services—and is becoming the primary tool through which access to the services of state government flow.

Our commitment for this symposium is to reveal to our attendees the insight, wisdom, vision, resources, and tools that have defined the leadership roles of our workshop and event "roundtables"—the secretaries, directors and private sector entrepreneurs who are at the forefront of a "Changed World!" We guarantee the inspiration and personal value gained from attending this event will far exceed the boundary of the day. We look forward to seeing you there!

Who Should Attend?

Government and Private Sector Professionals: Administrative, Technical Staff, Supervisors, Managers and Executives who:

1. Seek to better understand the complexities, challenges and opportunities of your own professional career progression in a Changed World;
