Description
STAYING THE COURSE: LGBTQ+ INCLUSION IN THE WORKPLACE
Tuesday, February 18, 2025 | 12:00 - 1:00PM
Headlines are reporting some companies rolling back DEI spending or programming. A handful of companies have declined to participate in the HRC Corporate Equality Index. But is that the whole story?
Join us for our February virtual Lunch & Learn as we invite Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Stakeholder Engagement team to join us for a special conversation.
Online registration closes at 10am on Tuesday, February 18th.
This important conversation is a perfect opportunity to invite your B/ERG’s Executive Sponsor to join the call as we will focus on research and strategies for supporting B/ERG and DEI efforts in the current climate.
