Visit Sacramento, like numerous other organizations across the nation, is committing to taking action and making change when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion within the organization, the region and the travel industry. As part of that, longtime leader Sonya Bradley is taking a new position as Chief of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Visit Sacramento. In this session, you will hear how Visit Sacramento made the decision to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion into it’s core values and into the region’s tourism and hospitality industries and what that means for you as you plan your Sacramento meetings.

In this newly created position as head of DEI, Bradley will specifically address Visit Sacramento’s commitment to taking action and creating change internally and within the tourism and hospitality industries in the Sacramento region.
