How To Encourage Diversity and Inclusion in Your Chapters (Room 335A)

The events of 2020 have shone a spotlight on some of the nation’s most entrenched societal divides and have reintroduced the concepts of implicit bias, unconscious bias, and anti-bias into mainstream conversation. This program will explain what biases are, how they come to be, how they have allowed us to achieve remarkable cognitive advancement, and, ultimately, how they can cause unconscious discrimination. The best leaders are aware of their own biases and have strategies to identify and neutralize any disparities their biases might have contributed to in order to ensure an inclusive culture for their organizations.
