reframe52?s ?Tools for Keeping People at the Table? explores the undeniable power of joy in the workplace. Joy isn?t just a feeling; it's a process, a connector, and a vehicle for driving meaningful change.

And how can we move beyond performative representation to a place of genuine, intentional value for- & inclusion of all employees?

Avoiding the Pitfalls of Lease Agreements is an educational session designed specifically for small business owners who want to protect their business, finances, and long-term stability when entering into or renewing a commercial lease. Led by a Legal Aid expert, this session will break down the key components of lease agreements in clear, practical terms, helping participants understand what they are signing, why it matters, and where risks often hide. Attendees will learn to identify common pitfalls such as unfavorable renewal clauses, hidden costs, maintenance responsibilities, and termination terms, as well as strategies for asking the right questions before signing.
