Diverse organizations are more successful. However, the overwhelming majority of power in our country is held by white men. If these leaders do not use their power - which their white privilege helped them achieve - to make structural changes in their organizations, it is unlikely that we will ever achieve racial equity. Understanding our biases does not automatically empower us to do anything about them - studies have shown that trying to suppress our biases doesn't work. Our session will provide tools to mitigate bias so that you can successfully create a more diverse team. 

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will learn strategies to counteract unconscious bias in the selection process to enable them to build team reflective of their community.
• Participants will receive actionable tools to ensure the success of their efforts.
