SUMMARY:WEBINAR: DEI in the Balance
DESCRIPTION:Title: DEI in the Balance \nWhen: March 20 1:00 to 2:00 PM EST \nLearning Objectives: \nOn January 20\, 2025\, President Trump began signing a series of executive orders that attempted to position diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) programs\, initiatives\, and activities as illegal on the grounds that DEI is “discriminatory.” In this webinar\, we discuss the language of these executive orders and their scope of impact\, including on work and activities related to DEI in different sectors\, such as higher-education and for-profit organizations in the United States. The webinar will also focus on what we can continue to do to advance the principles behind DEI\, both at work and in our personal lives\, in this precarious regulatory environment. \nPresenter Bios: \nDr. Luzilda C. Arciniega and Dr. Melissa Maceyko are anthropologists and co-founders of Willing Observers\, a consulting firm that centers cultural approaches and methods to deepen diversity\, equity\, inclusion and belonging in organizations. Dr. Arciniega’s background is in business and organizational cultures\, DEIB best practices and benchmarking\, and critical race and feminist studies. Dr. Maceyko’s background is in language and social justice\, legal and political anthropology\, allyship\, and gender and sexuality studies. At Willing Observers they conduct cultural assessments\, develop and facilitate training\, and help organizations with DEIB strategic planning and metrics. Their Inclusive Culture Strategy programs train DEIB advocates on key foundations and knowledge in DEIB and culture-change. \nPricing – Free  \nAAA Membership is not required to attend. \nRegister
