We believe that if individuals are aware of how their behaviors support the system of Racism, they will change their behavior. The consistent change of behaviors over time will lead to the ultimate dismantling of Racism...One &#x27;Ism at a Time. Some of the &#x27;Isms we will explore are:<ul><li>Colorism</li><li>Sexism</li><li>Ageism</li><li>Classism</li><li>Ableism</li><li>Genderism</li></ul>WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?This conference will provide the opportunity for you to network and connect with like-minded professionals.  It is a platform for you to exchange views and information, while taking away valuable leadership skills, strategies and new insights.
