The DEI Committee opened DEI summer events with an “Empowered Girl Talk” virtual session in June. During the session, Impact 100 president Sarah Grace Mohr quoted, “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in.”
To expand and broaden the conversations, we invite you to visit our Equity Supporters Facebook page to post comments, hear from others and continue your DEI journey.
