Advocating for greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect (DEIR) creates more equitable opportunity for all, but does it make good business sense? Yes! These values also accelerate growth, innovation, and performance in systems, processes, policies, and day-to-day operations, but where should we focus our efforts to create a strong foundation in perpetuity?
Join Pamela Leggett-Robinson of PLR Consulting, Sherine Obare of North Carolina A&T State University and UNC Greensboro, and Shanina Sanders Johnson of Spelman College as they discuss how a culture of inclusion through culturally relevant teaching in academia, laboratory research in industry, and engagement within the Society can be an engaging productive catalyst for the chemical workforce and beyond.
This ACS Webinar is moderated by Paula Christopher of the American Chemical Society and co-produced with the ACS Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect.
