Power Luncheon: Welcoming Environment:  The “I” Before the “D”

1 Hour CAE

Welcoming Environment® is defined as the creation of a sense of belonging and connectedness that engages individuals in an authentic manner in which uniqueness is valued, respected and supported through opportunities and interaction.

When an association values differences and creates a welcoming environment® – one that is comfortable, inclusive, and empowering – it opens the door for innovation, increased participation and an elevated sense of community and belonging.

By attending this program, you will explore the business case and strategic value of creating and sustaining inclusive cultures and communities.
