Microaggressions are small, subtle, sometimes unintended acts of discrimination. They can be related to a person’s race, gender, sexuality, parental status, religion, socioeconomic background, mental health, or any other aspect of our identity. Don’t miss the Aug. 18 networking call “Recognizing and Responding to Microaggressions,” 3–4 p.m. Eastern time.

Presented by the ASA inclusion, diversity, and equity advocacy (IDEA) group, this call qualifies for continuing education credit toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.
