You have made the decision to embark on a DEI initiative. Good. Now how do you know whether or not your effort is successful? Management guru Peter Drucker said that “if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” That applies to DEI. If you can’t measure DEI in your organization, you can’t improve it. Join us for a discussion of measuring a DEI initiative.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- identify and calculate the metrics that are important in a DEI initiative
- gather data about your DEI initiative
- analyze the data and draw conclusions from the analysis.

You are minding your own business in a store or on a bus. You see someone bullying a person who looks as if he/she is not capable of handling the situation. What do you do? In a time when people are quick to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger.
This highly interactive training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. We present information, share experiences, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session you will:
- Understand the roles in situations
- Understand what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing
- Understand how to move through this resistance to action

This session explores how organizations can create an environment where women are treated equitably while helping to drive innovation and sustainable performance.
