Pioneering Intercultural Leadership: From Awareness to Action
President’s Welcome
I
would like to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we begin SIETAR-USA’s 14th Annual Conference. Our
super conference team and the Board of Directors are excited about the great line-up of master workshops,
keynotes, and conference sessions. Portland is such a great intercultural venue, and we’re very pleased to be
welcomed and supported by the intercultural community here, including The Intercultural Communication
Institute (ICI). I hope you’ll take full advantage of your time here at the conference. In addition to the wonderful
opportunity for professional development, growth, and learning in our programmed offerings, we intend to create
a warm, inclusive environment for networking, meeting new and old friends, and enjoying being around other
interculturalists. We’re glad you’re here, and I hope your attendance will be an engaged, fruitful, and fun experience.
Christopher Deal, Ph.D.
SIETAR-USA President
Welcome from the Conference Co-Chairs
W
elcome to the beautiful Northwest and the lovely city of roses. Many Portlanders enjoy their reputation for
being “just a little bit weird.” We’ve spent several hours in the past few months photographing many of the “icons”
of this city, which will be shared with you as lunch table centerpieces. We hope you find several that resonate
with your own diverse interests and create a sense of curiosity about the city and the region that we are so
proud of. These photographs are yours to keep as mementos of the 14th Annual SIETAR-USA conference.
Because none of us stand on our own, we selected the theme of “Pioneering Interculturalists” to honor those
who came before us. Consistent with that title, we are hosting the first-ever invitation-only summit for pioneers
who will have the opportunity to visit with old colleagues and identify how the field has changed over the years
and what they think the future will hold. While only “seniors” in the field will attend this Saturday session, the
results of the day will be shared in some way with the rest of us after the conference.
And because learning and awareness are never enough, the second half of our title is “From Awareness to Action.”
We’ve selected keynote speakers, poster sessions and concurrent workshop sessions that will offer you many
ideas for how you can translate your growing awareness into actions that will make a difference in the world in
which we work and share.
Thursday evening will feature some Portland traditions for our dine around: food carts, a brewery, and a lovely
vegetarian option. After dinner, be sure to join other participants in the open mic experience of storytelling
about training experiences that should keep you reminiscing for days to come.
Friday evening, as always, will be a grand gala with the presentation of the Margaret D. Pusch Founder’s award,
followed by dancing to a magnificent band. Additionally, this year, we are providing the no host bar in a
separate room with space for you to visit with each other if dancing is not your preferred activity.
One of the best things about a SIETAR-USA conference is meeting old friends and connecting with new ones. We hope you will enjoy doing both and look forward to joining you as we network together.
Warm regards,
Donna M. Stringer, Ph.D. and Lillian Tsai

Conference Highlights
NEWCOMER’S SESSION: SIETAR-USA seeks to
model inclusiveness. Accordingly, we begin our
conference with an orientation for newcomers,
and everyone is welcome. Wednesday evening,
October 22 from 5:15-6:00 pm in the Lloyd
Center Ballroom. Learn about SIETAR-USA
and how to make the most of the conference
learning and networking opportunities.
CONFERENCE KICK-OFF AND WELCOME
RECEPTION: The Official Opening is
Wednesday evening, October 22 from 6:007:30 pm. This event will include a welcome from
Siletz Tribal Member “Bud” Lane, performances
by local Hawaiian and African dance troupes,
an overview of the conference events, and
two exciting networking opportunities,
including the always-popular Passport Game.
You won’t want to miss this! Following the
opening, the Welcome Reception will be held
in the Pacific Ballroom, a time to connect and
reconnect over an appetizer with members
of our diverse intercultural community.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: This year’s keynote
speakers will focus on the conference theme
of “Pioneering Intercultural Leadership: From
Awareness to Action”, providing examples
and strategies for intercultural leadership
in the areas of organizations, social change,
and personal effectiveness. Each speaker will
highlight information from her/his own area
of expertise and offer suggestions for using
awareness to take action and create changes in
our organizations, communities, and personal
lives. Paula Caligiuri, one of the most prolific
authors and media voices in cultural agility and
global business will provide current research
that will be of particular interest to those
working with organizations and the global
arena. Michael Agee will share his work as a
human rights advocate and challenge us to use
imagination, empathy and solidarity in creating
change. And Valerie Craigwell White will
help us explore the limitations and potential
impairments associated with a world that is
“colorblind, post racial and gender neutral.’’
INTERACTIVE POSTER SESSIONS: This is an
opportunity to have directed conversations
with your peers about the pioneering work they
are doing to advance the field into uncharted
territories, and they want your input. Thursday,
October 23, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm and
Friday, October 24, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. In
the Sellwood, Ross Island and Morrison rooms—
right next to each other so you easily move from
room to room. Each presenter has prepared 20
to 30 minutes of an interactive presentation
with ample time for conversation. This way you
can take in two to four posters, moving within
the same room or right next door. Presenters
will also provide handouts so that if you don’t
get to all the posters that you hoped to, you can
at least catch a glimpse of the blazing work of
this year’s special Interactive Poster authors.
SILENT AUCTION: Throughout the conference
in the Ballroom, conference participants will
have an opportunity to purchase marvelous
treasures, from exotic artwork to professional
services, and contribute to a worthwhile cause:
the Conference Scholarship Program. Stop by
during breaks and see what you cannot live
without—and feel good about supporting
future conference scholarship recipients.
A MASTERPIECE OF ART will be created by
conference participants as a follow-up to
last year’s launch of the SIETAR-USA Living
Code of Ethical Behavior. Watch for it in the
ballroom—and feel free to add your own
creativity. The final Living Code masterpiece
will be shared at the closing ceremony on
Saturday, October 25 at 3:30 pm.
GRAFFITI WALL: Ever wanted to express
yourself in writing on a wall? Maybe practice
some graffiti? Here’s your chance! During
the conference there will be a wall in the
ballroom where you can share your creative
ideas, suggestions, feedback for next year’s
conference planners to consider. Please…
tell us what you think! We even provide the
pens and crayons – spray paint is optional.
DINE AROUND: Portland is one of the
Foodie Capitals of the West, and we plan
to take full advantage with a special Dine
Around to introduce SIETARians to some
of the best Portland has to offer. Sign up
before noon and meet in the lobby at 6 pm.
Thursday evening, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
OPEN MIC NIGHT – It Could Have Been
Worse! In the Broadway Room, Thursday
night, October 23 from 8:00-10:00 pm. Got
a great intercultural story to share? An open
mic event - in the style of a Story Slam - means
quick, focused, intense stories and engaging
flow. There will be a host and a special guest,
plus 5 storytellers drawn from a hat. Facilitated
by Alex Cleberg and Shelley Morrison.
SPECIAL INTEREST AND LOCAL GROUPS
LUNCH: An opportunity to enjoy lunch with
like-minded colleagues to discuss hot topics
and/or connect with your Local Group. We will
also introduce the 2014 Scholarship Recipients.
Friday, October 24, Lloyd Center Ballroom.
SIETAR-USA BUSINESS MEETING: Friday,
October 24, 5:15-6:15 pm in the Holladay room.
We welcome SIETAR members and everyone
attending this conference to attend this brief
and lively gathering. Come find out about the
“state of the organization” and our vision for
the future, meet the Board Members, and vote
in the elections. Don’t miss this opportunity to
learn more about your professional society, and
enter to win $100 off of next year’s conference!
GALA DINNER CELEBRATION, DANCE AND
NETWORKING: Join other attendees on
Friday evening, October 24 from 7:30-11:00
pm in the Ballroom for the annual dinner
celebration. Following dinner and presentation
of the Margaret D. Pusch Founder Award
for intercultural excellence, the Hot Club of
Hawthorne will perform, featuring danceable
“old time jazz with exotic gypsy and Latin
flavors.” In an adjoining room, the no-host bar
and sitting areas will be provided for those
who prefer to network and mingle in a quieter
atmosphere, or choose to enjoy the music
and festivities right next door. Eat, Dance,
Network—what could define a better evening?
PIONEERING SENIOR SUMMIT – In an
effort to acknowledge and support those
individuals who have been pioneering
leaders in the intercultural field, SIETAR-USA
is holding its first-ever, invitation-only day for
senior interculturalists. Saturday, October
25, 10:30 am-3:30 pm, Adams Room.
