Changing the Game: The Power of Community in Advancing Equity and Inclusion in Organizations

Description: Creating meaningful change in organizations cannot be the responsibility of one person, office, or identity group. This session explores community as a catalyst for advancing equity and inclusion throughout organizations. Participants will examine the power of relationships, collective action, advocacy, and shared responsibility while considering how they can use their own positions to create environments where people have the opportunity to participate, lead, and belong.
