Dear readership, We hope you are doing great! It has been a busy winter, CHRC is still touring the country to deliver presentations for The Art of Managing Your Career and still promoting the conversation regarding IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility). Some other exciting news available in the newsworthy section. Happy reading! CHRC will be holding its second IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility) focused roundtable on Friday, March 8th at 3PM EST. The first meeting held in the fall was very productive and we were left wondering “Are under-represented groups satisfied with the inclusion efforts of the last 6-7 years?” Let’s discuss and exchange knowledge on the matter to help move that conversation forward. If you wish to attend the next roundtable, feel free to contact birane.wane@culturalhrc.ca. |
