LGBT Leadership Roundtable

Purpose

To explore the LGBT community, its issues, and its future with leaders within the space of diversity and inclusion.

Framework

The world is changing. More than ever, our energies and efforts are being utilized to create safe and supportive environments for all those around us. Yet the truth remains that the discussion on how to maximize and increase the scope of those efforts and energies toward creating a more inclusive and equitable environment are not being heard by enough. Today we will hear from folks who understand and encourage the adoption of LGBT-inclusive policies and practices and know the importance of conversations around such. They will share their firsthand experiences on how the LGBT community and their allies can work together to create a more diverse and inclusive world.
