ASA Webinar Tomorrow on Advocating for Inclusiveness—Complimentary to Members

Don’t miss tomorrow’s ASA webinar “Unapologetically You: Thriving in Spaces That Question Your Value,” 2–3 p.m. Eastern time. Many organizations launched diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, but being labeled a “DEI hire” can affect a person’s mental well-being and professional identity. In this session presented by the ASA inclusion, diversity, and equity advocacy (IDEA) group, the ASA women in leadership interest group, and Women of Color in Staffing, mental health professional Stacia’ Alexander will help participants understand how to protect their mental health, advocate for themselves, and build resilience.

The ASA women in leadership interest group is sponsored by ASA corporate partners Advance Partners, Bullhorn, and ClearlyRated, and by Avionté, Marsh McLennan Agency, Mee Derby, Sense, and T2 Insurance Solutions.
