Across sectors, there is hyper-motivation to create diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The social injustices highlighted in 2020 have pushed leaders to pause and consider the meaning and place of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organizations. The next and necessary step after this pause is committing to and creating organizational cultures that unmistakably prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. As part of an external-facing industry that interfaces with individuals, groups, and communities, professional services leaders have an essential and ongoing responsibility to become change agents who make diversity, equity, and inclusion a central part of their business practices. Please join us on June 10th as Dr. Nyasha M. GuramatunhuCooper gives organizational leaders tools and strategies for creating cultures that empower everyone in their organizations to develop systems, processes, and practices that center diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Attendees will:
- Consider the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the professional services industry.
- Critically reflect on how diversity, equity, and inclusion are located in organizational values, structure, and practices.
- Identify tools and strategies to empower organizational members to enact leadership, change, and decision-making anchored in the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
