Beyond the Rainbow: LGTBQIA+ Inclusion in Practice
with Ali Kane of ALK Consulting
Monday, March 10, 11am-12:30pm
As LGBTQIA+ inclusion progresses, many companies are proudly proclaiming their support of the queer community. However, companies are also under scrutiny for rainbow-washing. Like green- or eco washing, rainbow-washing occurs when a company demonstrates LGBTQIA+ inclusion – such as making their logo rainbow on social media – without substantial actions in support of the queer community.
How can your organization and you as an individual, ensure that you are thinking about LGBTQIA+ inclusion year-round and keep the momentum going long after Pride Month ends?
This workshop will share best practices across human resources, marketing & communications, client services, and community collaboration for organizations seeking to be leaders in queer inclusion.
