more and more immersed in understanding our own conscious and unconscious biases it is equally important to continue increasing our knowledge of the systemic reasons behind why some lives have come to matter less. Our upcoming program,
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><a href="http://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=39471501&nr=5173106943">Whose Lives Matter</a></span></em>, on
<strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Thursday, October 1<sup>st</sup>
</span></strong>, will provide an opportunity for you to increase your knowledge and understanding of race relations within the United States and the meaning and benefit of diversity within the workplace. Participants will have the opportunity for facilitated
and confidential conversation around the intent of the Black Lives Matter/All Lives Matter debate and brainstorm ideas for bridging the gap. In order to provide the optimal experience for all participants, we are asking that you register for this program
only if you are able to attend the live virtual event. There are still seats left and we hope you will join us for this important conversation. Have a great week and stay well!
