Title:  Intentional Diversity: Creating A Workplace that Celebrates our Differences
Presented by:  Jason Hurst, Co-Owner Maple Street Biscuit Company

Description:  We are currently living in a society where globalization and diversity of thought continues to expand. More now, than ever, champions for equal rights have created opportunities in our various workplaces where people of different races, genders and socio-economic statuses can come together to work toward common missions and visions. However, there are still some venues and workplaces where it is difficult to attract and retain diverse talent. Diversity is important to any organization as it challenges the status quo and presents solutions to problems from a holistic viewpoint. It can only change with being intentional about the need for it and this event will show you how


Takeaways from this presentation include:

• Recognizing the need for Diversity in Organizations and why it's important
• Understanding where our society is in embracing Diversity in the workplace
• Practical steps on being intentional about having a culture that celebrates and appreciates diversity (without being weird.)
