Let’s establish a 2020 Belonging Vision this New Year. If you need support on clarifying this vision, be sure to explore several exciting activities our firm already has on the calendar. Save the date and be sure to bring a colleague or two along for the learning journey. As we enter the new “Roaring ‘20’s,” we have many opportunities to grow the #BelongingMovement, and we look forward to collaborating with you to build belonging at work for all of your stakeholders.

This October, let us celebrate, remember, and honor the sacrifices and hard work of the many LGBTQ people, and our allies, who have come before us to help make the workplace a more welcoming and inclusive environment for so many within the Rainbow Family. For ideas on how to talk about the importance of this month at work, please review this great list.

This Saturday I’ll be speaking at the University of Notre Dame’s 30th Anniversary Celebration of its Gender Studies Program. I am so honored to join a panel discussion with five fellow graduates of the program. Together we will share how our gender studies degrees have shaped our experiences in the world since graduation. We’ll be joining students, faculty, and staff in celebrating the extraordinary accomplishments of the Program over the past three decades, while connecting with students and learning more about their scholarship.
