Let's go beyond the backlash, maintaining inclusivity and innovating despite the current environment.  Join us for an impactful presentation from our keynote speaker and moderator Gracie_Johnson-Lopez and discussion with a dynamic panel as we explore strategies for coping with the current attacks on Diversity Equity and Inclusion.

Afterward enjoy a conversational happy hour with live music. This event also includes an opportunity to support a charitable organization (tbd).

Thank you to our current event sponsors Pfizer and Merck.
