DEI Community of Practice
A collaborative space for DEI and human resources professionals to share, learn, and innovate.
Our DEI Community of Practice provides a space for DEI professionals to collaborate and troubleshoot within a setting where trust and professional respect are watchwords. Members engage in honest and confidential discussion regarding DEI challenges and share best practices to address these challenges within a supportive and collaborative environment.
