Another Seat at the Table: Critical Conversation on DEIJ
This session will guide pharmacists and technicians how to differentiate clearly between Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), define at a prominent level implicit bias and the impact of it within your organization, and describe how Unconscious Bias can tear down an organization. This session will also distinguish the difference between Microaggression and Macroaggression and how to develop best practices to follow to circumvent a hostile work environment. Presented by Kevin M. Coleman, Empowerment Coach, Trainer, and Speaker, KMC Empowerment, LLC. 

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: Worth More Than Gold
Through engaging personal narratives, this session shares the many different types of diversity beyond race and gender, and covers its proven benefits. This session will provide the audience with tools to enable them to increase diversity in their teams and focus on attracting, engaging and retaining diverse talent. The audience gains a new understanding of managing resistance, tracking progress and creating a climate that celebrates diversity. Presented by Dima Ghawi, Leadership Speaker & Coach, Breaking Vases.
