The A2Y Chamber is thrilled to kick off the new year with a crucial addition to its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Series. Join us for an engaging and transformative workshop, “Effective Engagement: A Look at Implicit Bias to Ignite Positive Conversations,” designed to deepen our collective understanding of implicit bias and foster inclusive community dialogues.
Why This Workshop Matters:
Implicit bias subtly influences our decisions and interactions, often without our conscious awareness. Addressing these biases is essential for creating equitable spaces, whether in the workplace or broader community. This workshop will guide participants through recognizing and addressing biases to cultivate more inclusive environments.
Meet the Facilitator:
We are honored to welcome Esther Triggs, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Interlochen Center for the Arts, as the lead facilitator. With extensive experience in fostering equitable practices, Esther’s insights promise to leave attendees equipped and inspired to champion positive change.
What to Expect:
- Interactive exercises and group discussions
- Practical strategies to identify and address implicit biases
- Opportunities to engage with local leaders and peers dedicated to DEI initiatives
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is open to all community members, business leaders, HR professionals, educators, and anyone committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment.
