and exciting presentation at NLA/MPLA

November 6 at 3:00 p.m. Don’t miss this event!
“Climb off Dead Horses: Mastering Change.”

As one client said, “When Cheewa is on, the electricity and energy kick in! We learn, we enjoy, we grow.”

Cheewa is a sought after speaker, having worked with associations, businesses and corporations across the United States and Canada. She is known for her presentations on leadership, dealing with change and finding a balanced life style.

With a name like Cheewa, you know there has to something different going on…and there is! She says it best herself: “My father is Modoc Indian and my mother is German.” Although addressing contemporary issues Cheewa often uses Native American thinking to illustrate a point. She creates a feel for diversity in a very subtle way.

A former television anchorwoman and reporter, Cheewa is the recipient of seven UPI (United Press International) awards. She has been awarded the National Golden Mike Award for excellence in television production and is currently a Sacramento PBS on-line talent. Also an accomplished author, Cheewa has nearly 150 articles in print.

This program is presented by A.C.T.I.O.N. (an NLA interest group for library support staff). Paddy Harrigian, Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and Florica Hagendorn, Henderson District Public Libraries, (Co-Chairs)
