Diversity & Inclusion SIG - July Bi-Monthly

Come join us for the Bi-Monthly Diversity & Inclusion SIG led by Tori Smart and Mat Stuckey.

Also, assisted by Seema Patel and Ankit Shah.

This month we have another special program:

Leveraging Intersectionality

As a common goal, we strive to create equitable and inclusive workplaces. Intersectionality helps us understand the impact of intersecting social identities in our workforce. Upon completing the Leveraging Intersectionality session, you’ll be able to . . .

• Understand the dimensions of diversity that comprise social identities 
• Know the challenges that our workforce may experience due to converging social identities
• Take action to make changes that reduce the emotional tax of converging social identities

About our presenter:

She serves as President of the Central Ohio Diversity Consortium, Secretary of the Community Shelter Board's Board of Trustees, a Dress for Success Program Committee member, and the NAACP Housing Committee Secretary.

About the Diversity and Inclusion SIG:

We provide a forum for COATD members to gain knowledge, learn about best practices, and share resources with one another. In addition, this forum will champion the efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion for talent development professionals to embrace our multicultural workforce.
