Diversity and inclusion topics such as gender identity and ableism (the discrimination against people with disabilities) are driving the conversation on what it means to be a Welcoming Environment® in the year 2020.

During this virtual summit, we’ll unveil the first-ever Welcoming Environment research study to illustrate the financial impact of implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives into your organization’s strategic plan, and the financial consequences of not taking action.

Most importantly, the conversation will not end when the conference is over. Attendees will develop an action plan for aligning external stakeholders and internal team members on these essential issues, and leaders will reconvene at both an online forum and an in-person discussion circle to share their experiences.
