Diversity. Inclusion. They are more than just words. They are the hard-and-fast principles guiding how to build teams, cultivate leaders and creates space that's a right fit for every person to feel empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to a space.
Join us as we discuss ways to implement strategies that create a culture of belonging:
- Combat fears and messages about one another and help others to do the same.
- Communicate in a diverse environment, in an inclusive way.
- Discuss ways to become more inclusive through diverse perspectives and involvement in community events.
- Identify appropriate methods of standing up for one another.
- Learn tips to become leaders for diversity and inclusion.
