Our sense of belonging is integral to our ability to do our best work.

Building belonging for every individual begins with an inclusive culture. In this session, we will discuss how to create an inclusive culture to ensure belonging for each member of the organization.

Speakers
  • Dan Shelley - RTDNA President and CEO
Summary
Somewhere in Wisconsin, right now, a nameless, faceless, bureaucrat is trying to figure out how to deny a lawful and legitimate request for public records. A school board, or city council, or common council or a state legislative committee is denying the public access to a meeting that by law should be held in public. A police officer, sheriff’s deputy or state trooper is denying someone their constitutional right lawfully to record the activity of law enforcement. A public safety agency is encrypting its dispatch transmissions to keep the public in the dark about what’s happening in their neighborhoods. What can broadcast journalists do to serve the public by seeking and reporting the truth despite the obstacles? Get some answers from RTDNA President & CEO Dan Shelley.

  • Joyce Garbaciak - Anchor, WISN-TV
Summary
WBA Hall of Fame members Jill Geisler and Joyce Garbaciak will share how they navigated the challenges of work and family life – Jill as a news director, Joyce as an anchor. As an expert on newsroom leadership and culture, Jill maintains that the term “work-life balance” is self-defeating, but harmony is achievable, especially if newsroom leaders treat their teams as people, not just producers. As a top-rated anchor who stepped away from full-time work for a few years to raise her daughters, Joyce will provide insights into her decision, along with other options people have for making certain they lead full and rewarding lives, even in the 24/7 world of news. This will be an interactive session, drawing on the questions and insights from everyone in the room.
