An Evening Dedicated to Dignity and Noble Work
An Evening Dedicated to Dignity and Noble Work
May 15, 2025
5:00 – 7:00 p.m. ET
Robertson Auditorium, Michigan Ross
Free and open to all, registration required
Join the Center for Positive Organizations for a unique evening weaving together academic inquiry, business leadership, art, and changemaking as we focus on asking brave questions about the transformative power of human dignity and purposeful work. As part of the Positive Organizational Scholarship Research Conference, this special evening session is free to attend and open to all.
Researchers Reut Livne-Tarandach and Hooria Jazieri will set the stage by sharing insights from their research exploring how organizations build social architectures that enable or constrain the recognition of inherent human worth. Building on this view of dignity, we welcome Peter Quigley, President and CEO of Kelly, who will share his personal story and how it has shaped his passion for work that imbues people with dignity and worth. Under his leadership, Kelly pursues the purpose of connecting people with work that enriches their lives, especially through initiatives they refer to as Noble Work. Illuminating the idea of human dignity and noble work from a different perspective and organizational lens, we welcome Vince Womack, artist, director, and conductor at the James A. Foshey Learning Center, a K-12 public school in South Los Angeles. In an onstage conversation, Vince will share the passion that led him to the work he does with young people, how he builds community that inspires purpose for his students, and his motivation to create a film that tells the story of dignified work. Watching 'The Last Repair Shop' together with Vince, we will see dignity and noble work come alive through the eyes of people who maintain the musical instruments for the students. All together, this evening of scholarship, leadership, and artistry will unlock our hearts, minds, and imaginations, inviting us all to elevate our contributions to creating a world of dignity and purpose.
Our Speakers:
- Peter Quigley, President and CEO, Kelly
- Vincent Womack, Music Director, Educator, and Conductor
