Driving Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Impact
Session seating is first come, first served. Thank you for your cooperation.
Join us for a panel discussion on JEDI-justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Despite a growing focus on justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI), the imbalance of power remains within our institutions, organizations and social systems. We will be discussing transformative systemic change to drive impact in both environmental and social justice. We will share effective strategies, models, and frameworks. Best practices, tools, and case study learnings will be highlighted. We will discuss layering in AI and other technologies to support data-driven decision-making. All members of the panel are JEDI thought leaders and practitioners. In addition to the the author, the other panelists are contributors to Kohl’s newly released book, Driving Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
