Diversity workshop looks at 'How to Be an Ally'

The Oakland County Bar Association will present “How to Be an Ally: Standing Beside and Up for Women, People of Color, LGBTQ and Other Unrepresented Groups” as an online Zoom program on Thursday, March 11, from noon to 1:30 p.m.  This program is the last in a three-part series of virtual workshops hosted by the OCBA’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee.

In an effort to provide meaningful and practical D&I education and tools for OCBA membership, the OCBA is excited to bring in two experts, Cheryl Thompson and Margaret Baxter from the Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement.

Figuring out where to start on a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion journey can be overwhelming. Some organizations are reacting to external pressure from the community, their boards or their clients. Others clearly see the business case for DE&I.

Whatever the reason for developing DE&I initiatives, these workshops help bring awareness to hidden biases and inequities and teach how to be an ally.

In the third of the series, attendees will find ways to make their organizations more inclusive by becoming a better ally to individuals and groups that may experience marginalization and or discrimination in the workplace and/or in society at large.

Cost for the program is $15 for OCBA members and $30 for non-members.

Details on how to join the Zoom event will be emailed to registrants two to three days prior to the scheduled workshop. To register for this program, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”
