This Week: Reginald Mark-Hansen Going back home…
Last week: John McCarthy - Criminal Justice
Reggie Mark-Hansen describes
himself as an International HR
Executive with specialization in
Performance Consulting, a skill set
that Reggie has used to support
various business leaders to better
understand the people issues underlying all business challenges.
Reggie has held executive positions with Shell, British American Tobacco and until
recently the world Bank over the 20 plus years of
his professional career.
Key highlights of Reggie’s career leading HR Mergers and Divestment team for Shell Downstream
Africa and setting up of the HR Function of the
Advisory Services of the International Finance corporation of the World Bank Group.
In addition to his primary HR skills, Reggie is a
certified organization development consultant and
executive coach. He will be sharing with us his story of living in the US and resettling in Ghana after
nearly a decade out.
John McCarthy, first elected in 2016 as State's
Attorney for Montgomery County, was a prosecutor for 34 years. He is a former president of the
Montgomery County Bar Association, and is a public policy leader. He talked about the implications
of the Baltimore crime vs. social justice disaster
and its potential for export to Montgomery County. The six indited cops will probably be moved to
Montgomery or P.G. County to get a fair trial. The
problem with body cameras, on for 24 hours, is
personal privacy (for instance going to the men's
room). He said 80% of women deaths are domestic and 60+ year olds are targets for fraud and
both show a reluctance of early reporting. He also
talked about heroin drug problems and middle
school truancy.
3 min.
Gary Lett Talked about Pres. T.R's speech - THE
MAN IN THE ARENA - who strives valiantly despite
errs and short comings.
