About the event
In the summer of 2020, organizations—both non-profit and for-profit—launched diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. These initiatives aimed to address pressing concerns, sparked by national discussions following George Floyd’s tragic murder. Senior leaders and experts championed diverse representation, emphasizing its pivotal role in maximizing creativity and organizational success.
Fast-forward to 2024, and we find major companies quietly reevaluating their commitment to DEI principles. But here’s the secret: Diversity isn’t just a checkbox—it’s your organization’s superpower! Learn why diverse teams thrive and how Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are key to your success.
Join Us: Our speakers will unveil the DEI magic. They’ll share how employee resource groups (ERGs) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs turbocharge success. It’s not about checking boxes; it’s about weaving diversity into your organizational DNA. Don’t just encourage diversity—embrace it! Let’s turn your organization into a powerhouse of innovation, empathy, and growth. Register today!
