Interview with Mitch Savoie Hill, MPI-CC Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Kathryn Short, MPI-CC Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee Member
What is DEI Connects?
The “DEI Connects” event series is a way to gather industry colleagues to connect, learn about each other, discuss industry and personal challenges, and share ideas and inspiration in an informal safe space. Previous DEI Connects events have included a meet up at Bitty & Beau’s, a coffee shop creating a path for people with disabilities to become more valued, accepted and included in every community, and a tour and discussion at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum.
Why did your team implement this event series?
MPI Carolinas values the importance of fostering a sense of community and networking among our diverse membership. Gathering together and sharing our stories, experiences, challenges and best practices is a wonderful way to enrich every member’s professional and personal life. So the MPI Carolinas DEI Committee created the “DEI Connects” series as opportunities to gather in an informal setting, at locations that give back to the community, to do exactly that–connect with your fellow MPI friends or friends-to-be!
