Join me in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! But, let's remember that we should consider ways to support Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC's) year-round, not just during certain months, or on holidays. What's your role in supporting BIPOC's? What's your organization's role? Join me as I welcome Cynthia Pong, an award-winning career strategist, author, and coach to discuss practical ways that you and your organization can make this a conscious, year-round effort. Let's go beyond just requiring folk to attend DEI or Unconscious Bias training! No more check the box training!
