  The Fourth Industrial Revolution & Creativity
  

  47% of jobs are at risk of being lost due to artificial intelligence and automation. It's more critical than ever that we cultivate our strongest competitive advantage over (intelligent) machines: creativity!
  

  About our Speaker:

  Christiane Michaelis is an expert on the subject of creativity. She studies the subject, speaks publicly about its benefits in the working world, and demonstrates it through her company, The Dirty Easel.

  Businesses that fail to innovate will become obsolete. Companies that build a culture of innovation find themselves on the path to growth. Christiane founded The Dirty Easel to help organizations use their creative muscle to innovate and drive growth.

  Through The Dirty Easel, she conducts team building workshops in which she uses experiential painting as a tool to stimulate the creative process. The painting experience helps people understand how to work creativity — both alone and in teams.

  About Our Speaker:
  

  Executive director of the ACLU of Texas since January of 2008, Terri Burke has led the organization through a strategic focus on LGBT equality, criminal law reform, religious liberty, immigrants’ rights and reproductive rights. Under her leadership, the organization relocated its headquarters to Houston, expanded its statewide reach by opening four satellite offices in Dallas, Brownsville, Austin, and El Paso, increased its staff from 8 to more than 30, and increased ACLU of Texas membership rolls fivefold.

  Through her commitment to challenge the central threats to civil liberties in the Lone Star State, the ACLU of Texas has brought its growing strength to bear on the most pressing issues facing Texans, on both the statewide and local levels. During Ms. Burke’s tenure, the organization brought lawsuits against federal immigration agencies to curb excessive force and family detention; expanded awareness and implementation of LGBT equality through active support of local non-discrimination ordinances and campaigns like Houston Unites; diminished the school-to-prison pipeline through advocacy with local school boards in Houston, Dallas, and Austin; built and reinforced statewide coalitions to expand the organization’s reach even further; and raised awareness of private prison abuse, solitary confinement and criminal justice abuses through the publication of widely cited reports.

  High School Re-Imagined
  

  San Juan Diego is the only school of its kind in Central Texas - a diocesan, college preparatory high school with a corporate internship program. All students gain on-the-job experience at one of several Austin corporations, and earn a portion of the cost of a quality education. One hundred percent of graduating seniors receive acceptance to a four-year college or university, with more than half being first generation college students.

  About Our Speaker:

  Pam Jupe served as principal of San Juan Diego Catholic High School (SJD) beginning in 2006, and is currently president. Most recently, Mrs. Jupe has been instrumental in fundraising for the construction of a new 60,000 square foot high school on South 1st Street.

  The school provides accessible college preparatory education, enriched by participation in a corporate internship program. The unique corporate internship program gives students the ability to build their professional resume while offsetting a portion of their education.

  With over 20 years of experience in education and 15 years in the corporate environment, Mrs. Jupe is a natural fit for leadership of San Juan Diego Catholic High School. She began her career as a chemist, interfaced with industry and private businesses on regulatory issues while at the Texas Water Commission, and managed an environmental laboratory. She has also taught at Austin Community College, Texas State University, Westlake High School, and St. Michael's Catholic Academy.
