Please join us Monday, January 25, from 6 to 7:15 p.m.
for "Building Goodwill and Better Friendships: How to Be an Ally”
As a global network that strives to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. As Rotarians, the Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do is our moral code for personal and business relationships. And, we know the test can be applied to almost any aspect of life.
Your District 6270 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) task force is excited to present "Building Goodwill and Better Friendships: How to Be an Ally". This session will address why allies are needed in the workplace. Are you an actor (spectator), ally, or accomplice? We will discuss concrete ways to be an ally in the workplace as well as provide a summary of dos and don'ts for allies. Lastly, we’ll discuss what it takes to rise to the challenge of going to the next level – that of being an accomplice.
