Deadline to register is 5 p.m. Oct. 22. If the program sells out, we open a waiting list at the door at 7 a.m. and typically can accommodate everyone.

This month’s topics include:

CAN YOU ALSO USE IT TO MAKE SOUP?

In Cal Poly professor Taufik’s native Indonesia, most people live on remote islands with limited electricity. So his patent-pending invention combining low-power inputs into one stronger source could be a game-changer, bringing light to more than a billion people living far off the grid. He’ll tell us more about the power of the device known as MISO.


WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY

SLO has been recognized as a great place for women-owned businesses. But just 30 years ago, women couldn’t even take out a business loan on their own. In honor of National Women’s Small Business Month, Lindsey McConaghy, head of SLO’s National Association of Women Business Owners chapter, will share progress and work still to be done.


PLANNING FOR PLANNED OUTAGES

The Central Coast escaped the first round of planned power outages aimed at preventing wildfires. But we still face the prospect of several days without power sometime down the line. Former SLO City fire chief and co-founder of Resolute Associates Garret Olson will share guidance and top tips for preparing for an extended power outage.


DISABILITY DOESN’T MEAN UN-EMPLOYABILITY

For the fifth year, businesses that employ people with disabilities and those employees were recently celebrated in a awards ceremony. Making those partnerships work is an organization called PathPoint, and we asked regional vice president April Lewallen to share some of the benefits and innovative collaborations behind the program.


PASSING THE TORCH

A new director of Leadership SLO (and Insight Studio) has been announced. But we can’t let long-time Leadership sage Sandi Sigurdson move on without some parting words of wisdom. Sandi’s legacy ripples far beyond the 360 or so Leadership SLO grads she’s shepherded and we’ll also take the opportunity to celebrate her many accomplishments.


GETTING JAZZED WITH CUESTA VOCE

The Cuesta Voce jazz ensemble has been entertaining audiences far and wide for almost 40 years, appearing at jazz festivals throughout the West Coast and Europe. As they prepare for their own Vocal Jazz Festival Nov. 8-9, the dozen-plus members will get us jazzed up for the day with a medley of audience favorites.
