In this ever-changing world, it is increasingly important to be able to work with people that are different from us. This workshop will provide tools and skills to create a productive work environment with members from diverse cultural backgrounds.

During the workshop, we will: 

• Establish definitions and common language on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
• Examine one’s own culture and learn from others’ cultural identity.
• Explore common attitudes, stereotypes, and behaviors that perpetuate exclusion and stifle inclusiveness.
• Explore appropriate attitudes, behaviors, and skills when interacting with diverse colleagues.

Cost and Registration: National Council Affiliates: $15 / Non-Members $29
