How to Be an Ally: Standing Beside and Up for Women, People of Color, LGBTQ and Other Unrepresented Groups

The last in a three-part series of virtual workshops hosted by the OCBA’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee.

In an effort to provide meaningful and practical D&I education and tools for OCBA membership, the OCBA is excited to bring in two experts, Cheryl Thompson and Margaret Baxter from the Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement.

Figuring out where to start on your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion journey can be overwhelming. Some organizations are reacting to external pressure from the community, their boards or their clients. Others clearly see the business case for DE&I.

Whatever the reason for developing DE&I initiatives, these workshops will help bring awareness to hidden biases and inequities and teach you to be an ally.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

In the third of the series, attendees will find ways to make their organizations more inclusive by becoming a better ally to individuals and groups that may experience marginalization and or discrimination in the workplace and/or in society at large.

Details on how to join the Zoom event will be emailed to registrants two to three days prior to the scheduled workshop.

Cancellations must be received at least 72 hours prior to the start of the workshop to receive a refund.
