Sabrina Coleman, owner of Mahoghany Coaching & Development is a Women’s Leadership and Personal Coach who has twenty years of comprehensive combined experience working in government, corporate and non-profit sectors in roles that include leadership, organizational development, leadership/professional development, change management, group facilitation, coaching, and project management. The last eleven years have primarily been focused on working within the biotech/pharmaceutical industry. Because of the various roles she has played, she has been in a unique position to partner with organizational leaders at all levels transcending functional boundaries to deliver strategically-aligned results. This practical, hands-on experience as a coach, consultant and leader; has provided her with an insight that is beneficial to the development and support of leaders and individuals at every level.

Ms. Coleman completed a qualitative research study last year which focused on the role African-American (AA) Women Managers can play in limiting their advancement opportunities in the workplace by responding to systemic barriers in ways that serve to reinforce the barriers and reaffirm negative stereotypes; thereby, unintentionally causing them to collude with the system. One objective of the study was to provide AA women managers and professionals with information, tools and strategies that promote their own personal awareness and empowerment.
Although this study was situated within the workplace, what she discovered is how we show up in the workplace is inextricably linked to our personal, social and cultural sense of being. Doing this work has prompted a shift in her own work to focus on her area of passion, which is providing leadership, personal growth and interpersonal relationship skill-building coaching and development to women of color that is holistic, transformative and transcending across every area of their lives.

Ms. Coleman serves on the board of Cross-Cultural Communications Inc., the parent organization of the Effective Influence Conference, an organization dedicated to the professional advancement of professionals of color and their allies through communication and relationship skill-building. She also serves on the board of the Women’s Therapy Center, an organization dedicated to strengthening individual women, families and communities through affordable therapy. And, she is a member of the Adjunct Faculty of Sonoma State University with the Psychology/OD Program.

Ms. Coleman holds an M.A. in Psychology/OD, a BA in Management/MIS and is a Certified Corporate Coach (CCC) and Project Manager (PMP).

Chris Jay Hoofnagle is director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology's information privacy programs and senior fellow to the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic. He is an expert in information privacy law.

Hoofnagle's recent work focuses on promoting competition among financial institutions to prevent identity theft. In Identity Theft: Making the Unknown Knowns Known, he discusses the problem of "synthetic identity theft," a form of crime where an impostor fabricates personal information and yet still can obtain credit accounts. Hoofnagle argues that the rise of this form of fraud demonstrates a fundamental failure in banks' anti-fraud gatekeeper function, and proposes market reforms for reducing identity theft.

Deborah Peel, MD is a practicing psychoanalyst and American health privacy expert.

She founded Patient Privacy Rights in 2004, now with 10,000 members. Patient Privacy Rights’ is the leading US consumer watchdog for health privacy.

She fights to restore patients’ rights to control their health information, from prescriptions to DNA, in electronic systems to prevent generations of discrimination in jobs and future opportunities.

Dr. Peel leads the bipartisan Coalition for Patient Privacy, representing 10 million Americans. The Coalition’s efforts resulted in strong new privacy requirements for electronic health records systems built with the billions in stimulus funds: a ban on the sale of personal health information without consent, audit trails, segmentation, breach notice, encryption, and the right to prevent disclosure of health records for payment and healthcare operations if treatment is paid for out-of-pocket.
