DEI gets thrown around a lot, so we thought we would break down these terms’ meanings, which can often be conflated. ✨ 👉Diversity: how we see each other. An individual cannot be “diverse”, as diversity only exists at the group level. 👉Equity: elevating those who have been historically left behind. A path in equity means we are eliminating barriers or procedures that may prevent individuals from reaching their potential. 👉Inclusion: how we treat each other. Inclusion is all about BEHAVIORS. What actions are we taking to ensure that everyone has a voice and is represented? #PlanToAction #DEIServices #InclusiveCulture #DEIdefined #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion

✨ Shout out to our Triangle DEI Community ✨ Last week's gathering was a hit with around 30 attendees! We kicked off with exciting updates, including our group's rebrand and the launch of our new GroupMe chat and shared Google folder! Our discussions delved into important topics like defining our brand in DEI and the value of certifications in the field. Small group conversations sparked insightful perspectives on navigating this space. As always, we wrapped up with announcements - member milestones, job hunts, and exciting upcoming events like Activate Good's upcoming event on May 15 (where PTA CEO, Sertrice Shipley, will be a breakout speaker!) and the Raleigh Chamber conference in July! Huge shoutout to Brand Fuel for hosting us and their incredible support of the Raleigh community. 🌟 #DEICommunity #Triangle #RaleighBusiness
