Sharing & Connecting Block: How We Are Implementing DEI Initiatives in Our Industry
Tuesday, October 24, 2023 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT
To round out our series, this event will focus on SHARING how we are implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and employee resource groups (ERGs) initiatives. With a fast and dynamic presentation, representatives of different companies and industry associations will share what they’re doing at their organizations. What works? What doesn’t? How can we do better? This will be followed by a series of breakout roundtables, allowing us to CONNECT on a more personal level.
The event is free and will be held at McCormick Taylor, with the option to attend virtual as well! Virtual links will be shared with registrants prior to the event.
