This month’s Professional Development event will focus on an introduction to the importance of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in the workplace. Mr. Michael Carter, Chief Diversity Officer for Sinclair Community College, will lead us in a discussion and workshop on how young professionals can have an impact on the D&I efforts in their organizations. Topics will include Equality vs. Equity, putting Diversity & Inclusion policies into practice, and how to navigate D&I related challenges in the workplace.
