Session: The Power of our Collective: Reimagining Inclusion
The current state of events-- the pandemic, racial violence, unemployment--is impossible to ignore, nor should we. Many in our field of diversity and inclusion express real concerns that the gains of the past decade are being eroded. In this session, we will ask ourselves this question: What if we could take three bold actions to help employees now AND create space for stronger, better and more inclusive organizations? What are those actions for you?Bio: Lori Nishiura Mackenzie
