As Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) continue to take center stage in institutions nationwide, the challenge often lies in translating awareness into effective action. Many organizations recognize the importance of embracing DEI principles, yet are uncertain about where to begin. In this engaging workshop, we address this common dilemma by providing participants with a strategic and purposeful roadmap that serves as a launchpad for meaningful DEI transformation. Join us as we explore actionable steps that bridge the gap between acknowledging the need for change and actively initiating the work. This session empowers attendees with practical guidance to move from discussions to deliberate, impactful action within their organizational context.
