October 17, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
$20Most organizations these days have a Diversity and Inclusion committee…. That’s great, but what comes next? This is the tricky part that most organizations fall down on – what and how do we do the actual work? During this session, we will explore pitfalls and bumps in the road that others face when embarking on this work and learn how to avoid and continue to push forward.
Attendees will learn the following:
- How to stand up a strong Diversity and Inclusion working committee within their organization
- Best practices for embedding Diversity and Inclusion in the organization
- How to bring your employees/members along for the journey
