Just finished the course “Foundations of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging” by Dereca Blackmon!  It was a great refresher on topics for DEIB. She was talking about the dance of DEIB, and how it relates to work places. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gkeTr9Sh #diversityinclusion #allyship.

📢 Important Update & Call to Action! 🚀 Last week, I had the privilege of attending a critical webinar hosted by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) discussing the recent Federal District Court ruling in Texas concerning the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). With NMSDC CEO Ying McGuire and distinguished panelists like Alphonso David, Damon Hewitt, and Sarah Von Der Lippe, we dove deep into the implications of this decision for minority business enterprises (MBEs). 🔍 Key Takeaways: • The court recognized the discrimination faced by minority-owned businesses in credit and federal contracting yet struck down remedies designed to address these disparities. • This ruling affects only one federal statute and agency, not impacting local, state, or private sector diversity initiatives. 🌍 This moment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges in our journey toward equality. The attacks on programs designed to help minority businesses aren’t just isolated incidents; they’re part of a broader, systematic effort to roll back the gains made through decades of advocacy and hard work. 💼 What Can We Do? 1. Corporations: Now is the time to double down on your commitments to supplier and business diversity. 2. MBEs: Share your stories of discrimination and resilience. Your voice is crucial in building a case for these essential programs. 3. Everyone: Support local and state disparity studies to help ensure programs are built on solid empirical foundations. 🤝 Let’s stand together in this critical time to support the MBDA, our regional centers, and the vibrant community of MBEs and corporate members fighting against discrimination and pushing for real growth. #Diversity #Inclusion #MBE #NMSDC #BusinessDevelopment #Leadership

ACCP has a long history of maintaining a warm and welcoming environment that creates a safe space for its members and event attendees. The society’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment is reflected in a new video from the ACCP Inclusivity, Diversity & Equity (IDE) Committee. The video explains clearly ACCP’s expectations of appropriate professional conduct; however, should an incident occur, the video provides guidance on the definition of a reportable incident and the process by which an incident should be reported. The video emphasizes the importance of following specific guidelines when reporting incidents, underscoring ACCP's commitment to transparency and accountability. By focusing on the guidelines for reporting incidents, ACCP aims to ensure a prompt and effective response to concerns, ultimately contributing to the establishment of a safe and supportive environment for all members of the society and the global ACCP community. https://lnkd.in/ebfGR49T

Have you heard❓ This year's DCA Debate topic and moderator have been announced! We're thrilled to share that this year we will have renowned Australian journalist, Patricia Karvelas, as moderator for our 2024 debate which promises lively discussion and valuable insights. ✨ This year, we ask: Is polarisation holding diversity and inclusion back? In an increasingly polarised world, where it seems there is more to divide us than unite us, what does it take to move the dial on diversity and inclusion? Are our divisions impeding progress towards genuine equality? Or do they ignite a sense of urgency and a drive for change? We'll touch on key issues including outrage, backlash, the moveable middle and the challenges of social reform. Become a sponsor of this year's Debate and elevate your organisation's commitment to diversity and inclusion. There are a range of benefits to sponsoring, including branding and being profiled in promotions, as well as importantly, publicly demonstrating your organisation’s commitment to D&I to your employees, stakeholders, customers and clients.
