2019 President’s Letter

Tracy Hill Welcome to the 2019 Monterey MPACE Conference. I am particularly fond

of this conference as it was the first conference I attended over 20 years ago! This year’s conference theme, Inspire, Shift, Act fits right in with line with what we need to do to keep up with the ever-changing roles we have in our professions. At this conference you will learn to inspire a shift for the next generation of professionals.

Many people visit Monterey to see the Aquarium, which currently is featuring a giant octopus and, of course, those adorable otters. Perhaps they may visit to stroll along Cannery Row, also captured in Steinbeck’s novel of the same name. One of my favorite Steinbeck quotes is: “I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.” I believe this is how you will feel after leaving this conference! The Monterey conference committee has been planning several events including two amazing keynote speakers. Sara Safari who will discuss how her dream of climbing Mt. Everest changed her life, as well as many women across the world. In addition, Dr. Omékongo Dibinga whose life’s mission is to inspire all across the globe to take a stand when they witness an injustice, no matter how small or large. We also have the opportunity to take advantage of the food and wine industry that Monterey is known for. Our Thursday night event will include a Taste of Monterey and will conclude with what we at MPACE are famous for—dancing! The hallmarks of the MPACE conference are networking, conference content, and making a lifetime of connections. My hope is for you to take advantage of all the organization has to offer by stepping out of your comfort zone and engaging where ever possible at the conference.

I have been a member of MPACE for over 20 years. MPACE has given me the opportunity to develop my leadership skills as well as learn new skills when taking on various roles.

As you know MPACE is an all-volunteer association. For many of you this may be your first MPACE conference. Please explore many of the volunteer opportunities and connect with MPACE members who have done the same. As an all-volunteer association, you help shape the future of MPACE. As you make your journey to the conference, I wish you safe travels. I look forward to seeing you at the Monterey conference for a truly rewarding and inspiring experience.

TRACY HILL

MPACE President 2019-2020

Our main goal for this conference is that you all walk away Inspired to make a Shift and Act on implementing all of the innovative and amazing best-practices that will be shared throughout the conference from a diverse range of presenters and keynote speakers.

I’M CLIMBING MY EVEREST - SARA SAFARI WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11 - 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

“I’M CLIMBING MY EVEREST”

In 2012, I was inspired to go from a California girl, who hated the cold and had never been camping, to a mountaineer, climbing the world’s tallest mountains for organizations that benefit women. My journey began as a personal challenge, but I quickly realized that if I could climb my own Everest, maybe I could inspire others to climb their own mountains. Join me on my journey to empower women and let’s get climbing...

MICHAEL VAN LEAR

Charlie has spent 3 years as a Career Counselor and Liaison to the Natural Sciences College at University of California, Riverside working with undergraduate and graduate students of which are primarily first-generation. He was a former transfer student and later earned his B.A. from UC Irvine and his Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. As a first generation himself, Charlie advocates for career readiness with his students by teaching the importance of being intentional with regards to career development and developing transferrable skills. This led him to collaborate with his colleague to develop UCR’s first Career Readiness Escape Room that allows not only students, but also staff, faculty, and higher administration to engage with career readiness in a experiential way.

Priscilla Vallejo is the Transfer Center Coordinator and Career Specialist at Ohlone College. She serves in a dual role where she helps students navigate the transfer process and integrates a “career-ready” mindset through engaging conversations that connect transfer and career. Her recent role was in Career Services at CSUMB where she wore many hats and worked simultaneously in Career Advising, Employer Relations, and Event Planning roles. She revamped the employer relations programs and created opportunities for employers, students, and the campus community to connect more. She is passionate about working with students from all walks of life and helping them unveil their career aspirations, interest, and skills. She is driven by creating space where students feel welcomed, empowered, and brave.
