Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are huge, complex topics that are at the forefront of many conversations today. But how can we effectively incorporate DEI into our lives in a meaningful way?

In this highly interactive session, Jackie Wirz will guide you through exercises that create actionable steps that build equity into your daily work. Examining DEI from a personal, workplace, and community lens, you will walk away with tools that enhance your DEI knowledge and ideas you can put into practice.
