Sertrice Shipley
Peacock Hall, Second Floor
Every single person in an organization has the power to make someone want to stay, or leave. This occurs through how we treat each other. Inclusive behaviors are actions that result in others feeling valued, respected, seen, and heard. Allyship is one form of an inclusive behavior. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that use allyship show 3x more progress than DEI efforts without allyship. During this session, Sertrice Shipley, founder of DEI consulting firm Plan to Action, will share research, best practices, and examples of using ally partnerships to foster more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizations.
