Join us in this virtual meeting to discuss Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as a moral imperative, however, sometimes leaders need/want to know how it is beneficial in numbers. Rather than judge, come learn how DEI benefits an organization's mission, innovation and yes, even the bottom line. In this interactive keynote, you will be inspired, informed and equipped to explain DEI as not just a moral issue, but a business/mission/money issue as well. The presentation will be held from 8:30AM-9:30AM, including a Q&A!

Please join after the presentation, where we will have a networking hour for NFG members! From 9:35AM-10:30AM.
