12:30 PM - 1:40 PM | Welcome Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award Winners Opening Session: Keynote Please note this session addresses the topic of suicide. Creating and sustaining a culture of equity, diversity and belonging can be challenging and exhausting work. Not only does it require the willingness to actively combat inequities, bias and discrimination in the workplace — but equally as important — it requires the courage to actively take part in uncomfortable but necessary discussions. You will learn key tools, strategies, and information necessary to engage in this critical work. Importantly, the keynote speaker will help you stay committed to this work long after the session ends.
