ULI Cincinnati – Rising Together Series
What: Across five workshops, participants will learn how to answer today’s call of building equitable workplaces through the inclusion and promotion of female and minority leadership positions in Cincinnati’s real estate industry. Raise awareness of your own biases, gain compassion of racial and gender differences, and learn what action you can take to dismantle inequities in the field. Are you concerned about the current social and racial climate in our community and our nation? Do you wonder if you have a role to play in making things better? Do you ever wonder what steps your organization might take to improve workplace equity (race, gender, etc.)? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, participating in the Rising Together Series will provide insight and resolutions.
