About: This webinar is complimentary to all. Have you wanted to expand your professional network? Do you want to become a leader in the environmental professions? NOW is your opportunity. Listen to NAEP’s free informational webinar “Belonging: Leadership When Guiding Through Transition” to learn more about leadership opportunities, to hear three fascinating personal career stories, and to discuss the value of getting involved and staying involved with NAEP, its affiliated Chapters, and other environmental professional associations. For this month’s webinar our unique career storytellers include Baton Rouge native Asti Davis who works at the intersection of law and environmental justice with a focus on green economies, social justice, urban forestry and policymaking. She believes her work in environmental justice is an integral component of the continuing civil rights movement. Asti also runs a social media platform called Environista to help spread awareness of legal and social justice issues. Latisia Hall-Cannon from Syracuse is a Program Quality Engineering Manager and Syracuse Site Diversity & Inclusion Lead with Lockheed Martin. She is well versed in listening and communicating to resolve business conflicts. She is passionate about diversity and inclusion and the importance of all people growing in areas of leadership. Latisia also runs a social media platform for social, cultural, and educational events in and around Syracuse. She hosts two series, “WOKE Wednesday” and “The WOKE Lifestyle,” that give exposure to new ideas on how to build up urban communities and celebrate our collective cultures. Our third career storyteller is Ali H. Mir, Vice President and West Region Planning Director of STV, Inc. Ali has led NEPA/CEQA environmental clearances for community planning projects, residential and retail development projects, educational institution projects, and bus and rail transit projects in California and Oregon. Ali served as the Director of Muslim Student Life at the University of Southern California (USC) for five years and currently serves as American Planning Association-Los Angeles Section’s Equity Director. Ali is currently leading the development of a Gender Action Plan for LA Metro. This webinar will be moderated by Ron Deverman, NAEP Past President and NAEP Fellow.
