CONFERENCE OVERVIEWThis year's conference marks a momentous time in our community, where we will commemorate the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre. One hundred years later, Tulsa is still grappling with the harmful impact of years of silence but the city is turning its pain into purpose. This year, ROI is presented in partnership with the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission, which will leverage the rich history surrounding the massacre by facilitating actions, activities, and events that commemorate and educate all citizens, including the building of the Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center. Marking this milestone year, the city will unite to bring people together around racial healing. We are proud to collaborate and support this effort. Return on Inclusion: Talent Rising presents an opportunity for organizations to examine their role in perpetuating practices that lead to a lack of belonging for their people across lines of difference. When we think of our role in advancing DEI work, we ask: What does equity look like in organizations? How do I advance racial, social, and psychological safety as a leader? And, how can I personally contribute to building a more welcoming environment where everybody feels they belong? We hope to answer these questions and more with a fantastic two-day agenda. We invite you to join us. |
