CANCELLED: DEI Talent Development Special Interest Group

Meet people from private and public sectors in training, coaching, performance improvement, human resources, leadership development, and organizational development with an emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our work. This interest group's overall goal is to exchange ideas, share best practices and strategies, and resources to help shift the culture of Talent Development through DEI lenses and build a culture that weaves DEI into the fabric of our work. Feel free to invite others who may benefit from this group and are committed to building an inclusive, varied workplace welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

Allyship - In the wake of race-related tragedies across the US, many organizational leaders publicly took a stand against racial injustice. As large-scale efforts at the community and organizational levels took root, sometimes people overlook the individual-level work to be done. Many have spent their lives working towards equality, equity, and justice - we are reminded of how actions that seem simple on the surface reverberate through our lives. That's why it's important for those in positions of power or privilege to do the daily work to become an ally to colleagues who are directly affected by racial inequity and injustice.
