HOW TO BE AN ALLY Summit Offers 3 Days of Diversity Bridge-Building for DEI Leaders

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The HOW TO BE AN ALLY Virtual Summit, October 4-6, 2021, will provide a safe space where passionate leaders can expand their knowledge, learn action-oriented techniques and create a community that will prepare them for creating more impactful DEI engagement.

Attendees will have livestream access to engaging and interactive sessions and keynotes led by Deanna Singh and Justin Ponder, Co-Founders of Uplifting Impact.

Now more than ever, business leaders are searching for ways to take a meaningful stand on racial equality in the workplace and are ready to bring their DEI efforts to the next level. However, many still don't know how to have a simple, open-minded conversation about diversity, let alone how to be a part of the solution.

During this three-day event, leaders and anyone interested in promoting DEI initiatives across a team/organization will gain the knowledge and perspective they need to hold discussions on privilege, biases, microaggressions, and inequality in the workplace.

As companies and organizations move toward more intentional DEI, they need leaders with a strong foundation: knowledge and practices for having uncomfortable conversations and taking inclusive action. Attendees will learn how to create a community around mutual respect, understanding, and appreciation. They will also learn action-oriented techniques using a proven framework from the perspectives of those who have made meaningful DEI their primary focus.

HOW TO BE AN ALLY will demonstrate how to move beyond good intentions to create real change by building meaningful inclusion within a team or across an organization.

By helping organizations shed practices that are inequitable and non-inclusive, they seek to lay the groundwork for those brilliant ideas to be uplifted. "We believe that when people show up as their full selves, that is when we will see the most Impact."
