"Steps to Achieving Cultural Competence"

Where are you or your organization at on your DEI journey?

Whether you are just getting started or you have a good comprehension of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, this session is for you.

There are many challenges affecting the availability of opportunities for black-owned/run businesses and their employees.  Many other minority groups face similar circumstances.  Attendees who bring an open mind, and a genuine interest to learn about DEI issues to this event can develop a better awareness and understanding of where they and their organization are on the continuum, and how to continue taking meaningful steps toward great equity of opportunity.  

When we show up as our better self, our businesses and communities are better for it, and positive change is imminent!
