Hosted at the Microsoft Reactor space in Times Square, three mission-driven organizations are teaming up with 250+ New York Diversity & Inclusion advocates to discuss actionable practices for overcoming barriers to building teams from non-traditional and unrepresented backgrounds, and ways to ensure they thrive in your organization.
