SoCal LevelUP - Culture, Communication, and Conflict

Gather with Your SoCal Community

In light of the devastating wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area, CalSAE is shifting the focus of this event to help those in need and create a space to offer/find support. We understand this is a challenging time for many, and want you to know your CalSAE community is here for you.

Relief Donation in Lieu of Registration Fee

We are now waiving the registration fee for this event and instead accepting donations of any amount. All funds will be donated to The American Red Cross Los Angeles Chapter, who is providing shelter, food, transportation, and emotional support for those affected by the wildfires. Registration funds previously received will also be donated. Your participation and generosity are greatly appreciated.

Please still register via the link above and select the attendance with donation option.

Culture, Communication, and Conflict

This workshop will focus on the things we can do in our workplaces to build a healthy culture, starting with effective communication techniques. We will discuss how to have challenging conversations in ways that demonstrate respect, inclusiveness, and dignity for everyone involved.
