CANCELLED: How to Be a LGBTQIA+ Ally in the Workplace - Virtual Workshop

1 in 5 Gen Z individuals identify as LGBTQ+. Despite great strides in acceptance and inclusion, many LGBTQIA+ professionals remain closeted at work, resulting in reduced productivity, retention, and creativity. To prepare for the evolving workforce, it is imperative that businesses and the professionals within them understand how to be effective allies and create inclusive workplaces.

Join queer educator and consultant Ali Kane (she/they) and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce to deepen your understanding of LGBTQIA+ identities. You will examine the foundations of gender and sexuality, receive recommendations for creating inclusive workplaces, and develop the skills to become authentic allies for your LGBTQIA+ colleagues.

This highly interactive three-hour virtual workshop includes several formats including lecture, breakout room discussion, a pre-session activity, and development of personal allyship plans. Registration fee includes a 50 page resource book and LGBTQIA+ vocabulary glossary.
