Biden Rescinds Diversity Training Restrictions: Shelley Willingham Explains

In September 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order that banned the federal government - plus its contractors and subcontractors - from offering and participating in diversity training on racial and gender bias.  The next few months were filled with cancellations, stalled conversations, confusion, and lawsuits. But fortunately, on his first day as President, Joe Biden reversed the order. On today's episode, The Diversity Movement VP of Business Strategy Shelley Willingham unpacks what happened and what it means to diversity training.

On the episode, Shelly mentions TDM's new learning portal, which is available in beta - for free - at Portal.TheDiversityMovement.com.
