Attendees will learn how to center diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in the development and retention of diverse early-stage professionals.

This highly interactive session will provide an overview of the national workforce and workplace landscape and highlight best practices to retain and develop diverse early-stage professionals.

  • Understand common challenges diverse early-stage populations face assimilating and navigating organizations.
