SE Mosaic Affinity Group (virtual)

Inforum Mosaic Affinity Group session, Thursday, Oct 21 at 8AM

Greetings!

Alba and I are looking forward to have you join us on Oct 21 at 8am to learn and share Mosaic’s next topic - Women in the Workplace 2021 Study. We will focus on the Women of Color data and insights.

Women in the Workplace is the largest study on the state of women in corporate America conducted by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company.

This year, they collected information from 423 participating organizations employing 12 million people, surveyed more than 65,000 employees, and conducted interviews with women of diverse identities, including women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities.

The 2021 findings focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion on the experiences of women and the state of work more broadly.

We will share the study and have an open dialogue regarding one of their key findings about Women of Color: micro aggressions. You will also experience a reflection exercise to address challenges such as micro aggressions.

As always, to encourage rich conversations and to promote psychological safety, we do not record these sessions.

Members of Inforum, Michigan’s largest professional organization for women, invite women who are interested in professional networking and personal support to gather and be empowered virtually from 8am–9am on the third Thursday. This affinity group will engage virtually monthly and will connect in person 2-3 times a year.

The Mosaic Difference

The purpose of this affinity group is to leverage and strengthen the Inforum network by bringing together all hues of Women of Color, advocates, and allies to engage in courageous conversations that inspire personal and professional excellence and success. We encourage authentic relationships and desire to create a space for collaboration to accelerate strategic connections and professional and business growth for Women of Color. We don’t want time and proximity to be an issue; hence why a virtual meeting is an opportunity to engage Inforum members on the westside of Michigan, as well as the SE Michigan region.
