This year, the event will have two sessions, allowing staff to attend either session or both sessions.

Morning session (8:30 - 11:30 a.m.): Recognize and Interrupt Unconscious Bias with Intentional Inclusion

This highly interactive experience will demonstrate several of the unintentional ways that implicit associations influence and inform the large and small decisions we make on a daily-basis. Staff will learn how to manage implicit bias through understanding and awareness, as well as, strategies to interrupt bias.

Afternoon session (12:30 - 3:30 p.m.): Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness @ Work

This highly experiential workshop will educate staff about what is emotional intelligence (EQ) and mindfulness with applications in the workplace. Staff will learn tools and techniques to build increased awareness of mindsets and learn ways to develop new behaviors and habits.

Additionally, lunch will be served between the two sessions to allow participants to network and interact with each other.
