Community Diversity - Open Discussion on Milwaukee's Racial Climate
Date: April 11, 2012
Time: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Event Description
"Dr. Ragins is terrific at addressing issues, facilitating deep, truthful conversations and motivating people to step away from their own comfort zones and change."
"Dr. Ragins will change you and motivate you. An hour with her is an hour you will be thrilled to share with others for a long time."
Don't miss this rare opportunity to spend a morning with Dr. Ragins and have
an open, honest discussion on the current racial climate in Milwaukee. Let's truly have a dialogue.
Dr. Belle Rose Ragins, Professor of Management at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and internationally recognized scholar on workplace diversity, will lead the discussion and ask the hard questions after she presents her results of a new study on the spillover of community diversity to the workplace. This ground-breaking research illustrates the importance of fostering positive climates for diversity in the community, and represents a call to action for organizations to partner with their communities to improve diversity climates. By offering a research-based, business case for organizational-community partnerships, this presentation will give important fuel to the development of partnerships aimed at eradicating racism and promoting inclusion in our local communities.
