Plenary
Like many organizations, advancement leaders and teams are determining when and how to integrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) initiatives into program plans. Oftentimes, there is a question "why, do we need to...?" Not only is DEI&B work necessary, it should be integrated into every aspect of the plans, programs, events, and communications you execute. This session will help you to understand and be intentional in your efforts to create purposeful inclusion.
