Why WAITT: We’re All In This Together

In the world of BRG's, ERG's and ARG's alike, affinity groups use a wealth of acronyms to self-identify and to express their mission, vision and values. In this 5th annual Organizational Business Resource Group Roundtable, we're leading in that spirit of inclusion and compassion by way of Allyship. In 2020, as a nation and individually we have experienced divisiveness heightened by partisan dissension, social unrest and racial inequities. And with the looming presidential election we’re all wondering where do we go from here? However, we're finding ways to bridge the gaps between the unique differences that define us and the olive branches rooted in humility that unites us. Let's not WAITT; We’re All In This Together. The time is now for change! Who should attend? All Business Resource Group members, stakeholders, leaders and executive sponsors, Human Resource and Talent Management Professionals, Diversity, Inclusion & Equity Advocates, Companies interested in real opportunities and insights in optimizing the return on investment for their Business Resource Groups. This virtual event offers incredible value to our attendees. Flexible attendance allowing you to come and go as your schedule allows, Fascinating and interactive discussions addressing our corporate and cultural climate, Engaging speakers worth hearing and learning from, Reduced registration cost and to show our appreciation, you could be the winner of an extraordinary raffle prize
