Presentation Description:

D&I have been all the buzz words lately, especially right now in the midst of all the racial injustice and social unrest. Organizations and people are calling for and declaring their support of #BlackLivesMatter but what you are doing to ensure its not just an empty call of support?

Are you inflicting harm or preventing harm on Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPoC) in the work place or even your clients/customers? Do your policies, practices and procedures ensure racial justice, fairness, more equitable outcomes? We'll discuss how you can put action to your support of #BlackLivesMatter within your organization and the tools available to you to advance racial equity.

Takeaways:

1. Insight into how participants can organize (Internally & externally) and operationalize around diversity, inclusion and racial equity

2. How to gain insight if your organization is/is not creating harm for BIPoC

3. How to begin to make transformational changes to policy, practice and/or procedure to ensure fairness, justice and more equitable outcomes.
