Historian Jeffrey S. Boutwell will discuss his new biography, Boutwell: Radical Republican and Champion of Democracy. George S. Boutwell is the most consequential American political figure you've never heard of. During his career from 1839 to 1905, he was Governor of Massachusetts, served in the U.S. House and Senate, was Treasury Secretary for Ulysses Grant and Commissioner of Internal Revenue for Abraham Lincoln, helped create the Republican Party in the 1850s, and challenged the efforts of Presidents McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt to annex the Philippines in 1900 following the Spanish-American war. He was instrumental in framing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, initiating the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and investigating white vigilante violence against Blacks in Mississippi in the 1870s. For seven decades, George Boutwell sought to "redeem America's promise" through racial equality, economic equity, and the humane use of American power abroad.  Register for the Zoom link here! https://hollistonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/george-s-boutwell-the-most-consequential-american-political-figure-youve-never-heard-of/

By now, you’ve heard about ageism in the job search. Yes, it is illegal. It's also rampant. Perhaps, you’ve experienced it. Thousands of smart and experienced workers can't land a job, because of misguided perceptions and biases against mature job seekers. During this session Ed Lawrence reveals the ageism presentation that he showed recently to a group of coaches and resume writers in Chicago. This presentation was aimed not at job seekers, but at the people whose job is to help job seekers. Ed will show you the survey results that reveal whether or not the coaches & writers make a difference and show you the suggestions he gave to the professional audience for better assisting job seekers. Ed Lawrence is the founder and principal of Getstart-ed, through which he offers practical job-search assistance, résumé-writing services, and assessments to help people gain meaningful employment or transition to a new career. He is a Certified Professional Résumé Writer, Certified Student Career Coach, National Certified Online Profile Expert (NCOPE), and is certified in Myers-Briggs (MBTI), DISC, the Strong Interest Inventory, and Skillscan. He is the official resume writer for the Framingham Public Library, offering in-person help sessions on Tuesdays and online sessions on Thursdays.
