Description
This seminar will introduce an innovative and transformative model for improving the way leaders sustain equity and inclusion efforts across their organizations and/or communities.

We will walk through an organizational assessment, giving attendees the chance to reflect on their current efforts. We will facilitate a conversation around current events and key scenarios that equity and inclusion leaders often face, and provide context and strategies on how to develop as a D&I leader using this new model.
