Learning How Organizations Are Becoming More Inclusive, and How You Can Be Part of the Change
Are you a newcomer interested in understanding and shaping how organizations are working to become more inclusive and equitable?
Join us for a 3-hour interactive clinic where local organizations will share real strategies they have implemented to make their workplaces and programs more welcoming, accessible, and fair.
This is not a lecture about theory, it’s a practical conversation about what inclusion looks like in action.

- Ask questions about workplace inclusion and equity
- Share your perspective and lived experience
