A Continuous DEI Learning Journey

The past few months have been a great time of learning. We acknowledge that we are undoing generations of racism, racial/social trauma, and injustice. Change doesn’t happen right away, and it is a continuous learning journey.  
 
There have been some great DEI events the past few weeks, so we wanted to highlight a few.  
 
Day of Diversity: Hosted by LGBT Meeting Professionals Association was a great event covering topics such as Liberating for All: The Future of Pride, Welcoming diverse groups to your destination, ending system racism: one person at a time. On demand, recordings can be found here.
 
MPI Global hosted a variety of #Realtalk topics on Conversation on Ageism, Leveraging Meetings for Transgender Justice, AAPI Voices in the Meetings & Events Industry, 
On demand, recordings can be found here.
 
Thank you to everyone that joined the DEI Community chat where we discussed a podcast about: Pride, Pronouns, and Privilege: How Intersectionality Informs Our Allyships Journey. Our next DEI community chat will be in Fall. 
 
Each month we will be rolling out DEI tidbits as well. We hope you get a chance to check out the resources, learn and translate words into action.
