In January 2023, we collaborated with the Tri-Village Chamber Partnership, through funding provided by the Upper Arlington Community Foundation, to provide a 2-part DEIB Training Series with the amazing Lachandra B. Baker!

Attendees gained profound insight into LGBTQ+ terminology and concepts, grasped the legal and social challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, discovered the essence of allyship and safe spaces, pledged to drive change by setting inclusive goals, and committed to sharing knowledge and resources within their workplace.
