Last month, Meg and Anna attended OC PRSA’s Annual Eye on DE&I Summit, an award-winning program designed to connect communities and communicators together. 🌟 The summit included an incredible keynote address by Chancellor “Chance” Patterson, Esq., as well as a panel discussion around DEI tools to incorporate into your work and community. The panel included subject experts Hillary Ahluwalia of the City of Irvine, Dyonne Bergeron of UC Irvine, Carla Cruz of Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and Julián Velzarde of Orange County Fire Authority. The summit was filled with insightful ideas and conversations around DE&I and our team had some great takeaways from the event. Here are some of our favorite learnings: ➡️ You can have diversity, but lack inclusion - inclusion, but lack diversity! One does not automatically create the other. ➡️ PR professionals can’t be afraid of speaking up. If you’re not authentically sharing your opinion, you’re not being real. ➡️ Speaking up and starting uncomfortable conversations is OUR space. ➡️ DE&I is about creating a work culture where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable. It is key to create that culture in order for diversity to exist and stay within your company. ➡️ There are new tools being created by amazing leaders in this space that can empower organizations to know better and do better - and we’re already exploring how to bring these to our own clients!

Employees crave opportunities for thoughtful dialogue. It's about asking the big "Why" questions. People love to talk about the future, company strategy and trends. But for some reasons managers are not always so eager to start this dialogue. Check out my blog post: https://wix.to/AqfLFUO #Communitybuilding #Dialogue

More than ever, in these times of backlash against and underfunding of diversity programs, it’s key to ensure your commitment doesn’t slip. That we don’t return to a world of all-male panels at tech conferences and/or all-white (highly paid) Keynote Speakers (with BIPOC just in emcee roles). Let us help you make sure your most important events are as diverse and inclusive as your values are! Picture: cultivating a highly-engaged, multiracial audience where women/queer/trans folks are elevated and embraced. Where innovative networking formats reduce the “subtle acts of exclusion” that are far too common at professional conferences and events. Get the playbook ($29) from Dr. Breeze H. and Femily Howe, a duo of DEI advisors who have 40 years of combined experience making events work for marginalized groups, too. https://lnkd.in/gPbYBApm
