Don’t miss the virtual networking event “Coffee With a Black Guy.” It takes place today from 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern time. Get insights on how to open up discussions on sensitive topics and build better cross-cultural understanding. The Coffee With a Black Guy session was so popular at Staffing World^® 2021 that CWABG founder James Joyce III has agreed to return for another discussion presented by the ASA inclusion, diversity, and equity advocacy (IDEA) group.

The ASA IDEA group is sponsored by ASA corporate partner Monster and by Anthem, along with supporting sponsors TerraFirma and WorkN.

This networking event is free and qualifies for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.
