In this panel discussion, participants will have a chance to hear from DEI and legal experts regarding the underlying causes that contribute to DEI resistance in today’s landscape. The panel will discuss legal and socio-political considerations and offer practical actions that will help organizations navigate a path forward to an inclusive future for all.
