About the Webinar:

There is an ever-expanding understanding of the importance and value of intentional diversity and inclusion efforts and an important piece of inclusion efforts should be the recognition of important holidays and events to the increasingly diverse and multicultural nature of our respective organizations. BUT there are over 200 holidays and events that celebrate diversity and inclusion. With the breadth of worthy celebrations, how does your organization select the right ones to recognize? And once you select which holidays to recognize, how should they be celebrated? While there is no perfect method to make these decisions, join our webinar to discuss suggestions, ideas, and tips on what steps your organization can take to be intentional in the decision-making process.
