• Are schools reopening prematurely?

  Bambi Majumdar Education

  In some areas where school has already started, a rash of COVID-19 cases has led to a chaotic start to the new academic year. While infections continue to rise in large parts of the country, reopening schools with in-person learning may foreshadow dire results. There are already reports of teachers and students bringing the virus to school with them in the South and the Midwest, triggering quarantines. More cases like these will result in delayed openings and further shutdowns.

  In the same way that employees are dealing with a great amount of stress, so are organizations. There is tremendous pressure on organizations to bring up conversations around DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion) that are sensitive and could lead to increased tensions between co-workers. Organizations are in need of solutions that can facilitate more positive results from DEI conversations.

• Leading your school during a pandemic

  Brian Stack Education

  When they write the history books a generation from now, 2020 may get its own chapter. We are not quite two-thirds of the way through this year and it is already proving to be one that has thrown us, as school leaders, more curveballs than we can count.

  Summer travel is looking quite different this year. For North Americans, the search has been on for safe and affordable travel ways to get away and find an escape for the mind. To that end, new research shows hitting the road in an RV may be the way to go — especially for families on a quest for a packaging of sanity and safe travels.

• Tracking the authority of an association

  Robert C. Harris Association Management

  Who authorizes an association to exist? From where does the board get its authority to act? How did the founders envision perpetuity as a nonprofit, exempt organization?

  A June poll by American Consumer Credit Counseling, a nonprofit credit counseling agency, reveals an increase in Americans who report having zero confidence in the U.S. economy. The majority — 80% — of respondents say they were impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown. As a result, 22% of respondents say they’ve borrowed from their 401(k) accounts or other retirement savings.

• Better days ahead

  Debra Josephson Abrams Education

  What are you going to do when COVID-19 quarantine ends — and why are those your choices? While daydreaming research abounds, including that which asserts that daydreaming can be associated with positive psychological consequences, I’m not interested in pie-in-the-sky mind wanderings. As we return to school — in whatever ways we return — what do you and your students plan to do when quarantine ends? To what are you looking forward?

  Dr. Myrna Milani Pet Care

  When veterinarians begin integrating the treatment of behavioral problems into their practices, it may surprise them how client perceptions of these problems may differ compared to medical ones. Consequently, these client perceptions may blindside practitioners and sabotage problem behavior resolutions. Here are some of the most problematic ones I’ve encountered.
