    Are you concerned about the current social and racial climate in our community and our nation? Do you wonder if you have a role to play in making things better? Do you ever wonder what steps your organization might take to improve workplace equity (race, gender, etc.)? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, participating in the Rising Together Series will provide insight and resolutions.
     
    In this session, this powerful panel of professionals will be led in a discussion about gender, race and workplace diversity. Learn how you can improve your organization's culture and workplace through listening to how the panelists have not only experienced racism and gender bias in their careers, but are now leading initiatives and taking action around making change.

    On Thursday, July 22, Boom(er) Bust II: Intergenerational Discussion on Workplace Inclusion will take place with a panel of professionals who will provide insights and ideas for hiring with a diversity mindset as well as establishing a culture of belonging and opportunity. This interactive session will be led by Susan Branscome, senior vice president/managing director of NorthMarq and host and creator of the podcast, LeadingShe.com.

    Workshop participants will hear what the panelists have seen in the workplace change or not change when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion. Each will learn how organizations have restructured to become more diverse, equitable and inclusive and what lessons were learned along those paths of change. An important aspect in developing strategic initiatives towards change is listening to those early to mid-career professionals and what they are looking for in an organization; what attracts them? 

    This is the third of five workshops in the 2021 series designed to answer today's call of building equitable workplaces in the commercial real estate arena through the inclusion and promotion of female and minority leadership positions in the Cincinnati region.

    Those participating will leave with a heightened awareness of their own biases, gain compassion of racial and gender differences and learn what action they can take to make changes to their companies and workplaces to become more diverse and inclusive.

    Please register and plan to attend, pass this link along, and bring those within your organization who influence hiring and culture decisions with you.
