SE Mosaic Affinity Group (virtual)

Alba I are looking forward to having you join us next Thursday, February 17^th at 8am for Mosaic’s next topic – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion….is it Here Today, Gone Tomorrow or Here Today, Here Tomorrow. As we celebrate what has been set aside as Black History Month and we are a month away from International Women’s Day, we invite you to join this discussion on the state of reality of DEI in our workplaces and everyday lives.

Let’s Talk About It: The State of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As we continue to support the success of women, join this #realtalk session about the state of DEI. We want to hear from you about the sustainability of DEI efforts made over the past couple of years. Everyone’s situation is different – some companies have made great strides towards a more inclusive workplace, while other companies have made great statements and less strides.

Join this discussion facilitated by Alba Contreras Rodriguez and Sandy Harvey. We want to hear from you on “what you are seeing in the DEI space” and “what you are personally committed to doing in the DEI space.” We want to hear about the traction you have made or maybe the restart that needs to take place.

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.
