March Chapter Meeting: Fusing the Power of Diversity & Inclusion in Events

Organizations in the United States, and beyond, invest in strategies designed to enhance and leverage a diverse workforce. We know that diversity plays a fundamental role in the success of our organizations and events. However, it is time for us to think beyond “diversity for the sake of diversity", and make inclusion a part of our overall events’ visions as well.

Inclusive workplaces and events value every employee, regardless of roles, job titles, and tenure and places an emphasis on equality, human rights, and employee welfare. Developing a diverse and inclusive event requires strategy, clear expectations, and accountability.

Come get a better understanding of the benefits of diversity and inclusion efforts, and how to better serve your audiences!
