*VIRTUAL* RTP180: Equity SPONSORED BY RTI INTERNATIONAL

Frontier RTP: RTP180

A professional speaker and networking series with complimentary popcorn and beverages.

Innovation. Education. Industry. These are powerful angles—and what Research Triangle Park is known for. At RTP180, speakers from our founding Universities, Park companies and the North Carolina community at-large, are called upon to speak passionately and authentically about what matters to them. The twist? They must do it in 5 minutes or less! We ask our speakers to be intentional with their 300 seconds up on the virtual stage. What perspective of their industry are they able to share? What are their passions? What would our community be surprised to learn? What case studies in North Carolina are cutting edge? This month, the topic is Equity. Equity is defined as the quality of being fair and impartial, but this definition is only the surface. You may attend this event thinking you know all there is to know about Equity, but get ready to consider a different angle.<h2>Our Experts </h2><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-hawkins-835a60180/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Stephanie Hawkins</a> | RTI International | Racial Justice &amp; Equity<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggie-kane-161311a9/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Maggie Kane</a> | A Place at the Table | Good Food Breaking Down Barriers<a href="https://ed.unc.edu/people/constance-a-lindsay/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Constance A.
