Your community newspaper brought to life.
Good Morning SLO is our platform for sharing ideas, news and inspiration. A monthly program that brings community leaders, business owners, nonprofit executives and staffers together, and enables us to reconnect, engage and learn from each other.
Our goal is to provide insight into business, community and legislative issues and share the stories of those making a difference. We want audience members to leave with ideas and information about how to better their personal and professional lives.
Good Morning SLO happens on the fourth Thursday of every month except November when it is on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Thank you to this month’s featured sponsor:
SUPPORTING SURVIVORS
April is Sexual Assault Action Month, and there has never been a more timely moment to take action and support local survivors. Jennifer Adams, Lumina Alliance CEO, will shed light on how to empower survivors in their healing, process sexual violence on a community level, and take steps this month and every month to create a future without violence.
EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR HYBRID WORKPLACES
While adapting to COVID-19 continues to be top of mind, many business emergency plans don’t reflect their new workplace realities. Robert Lewin of Resolute Associates will walk us through key considerations to ensure that your business and employees – whether in-person or remote – are prepared for natural disasters and other emergencies.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
With mass shootings and workplace violence once again making headlines, we wanted to better understand what warning signs to be aware of and actions we all can take to prevent a mass shooting event. Dr. Joseph Holifield will share how to recognize potential threats and give a preview of the larger Insight Studio event on community violence prevention May 2 and 3.
EVERY KEY HELPS PLANT A TREE
As part of the City of SLO’s goal to be carbon neutral by 2035, San Luis Obispo hotels are allocating 1% of their annual revenue to plant trees through EcoSLO’s tree planting program. Executive Director for the nonprofit, Mary Ciesinski, will join us to share the importance of urban reforestation and more about this novel partnership.
SOARING HIGH IN SAN LUIS
ACI Jet first opened its doors in SLO more than 20 years ago. Since those early beginnings, they’ve grown into an aviation powerhouse throughout California. With a recently opened state of the art facility bringing head of household jobs to the Central Coast, we asked COO, George Dom, to share where they aiming to land next.
THAT’S SO DEEP
There is an epidemic spreading across the United States and it’s not what you think it is. It’s a loneliness epidemic. Phyllis Wong created a podcast to explore how deeper conversations, authentic relationships and meaningful connection can be the antidotes to loneliness. She’ll join us to share what she’s learned.
ENDING ON A HIGH NOTE
Opera San Luis Obispo will close out the program with a sneak peak of their forthcoming performance Carousel!, the classic Broadway hit premiering Mother’s Day weekend at the Performing Arts Center.
Thank you to Costco and Coastal Peaks Coffee for providing breakfast at this month’s program.
