Title: Wicked Good Chats: Embracing Diversity & Inclusivity during the Holidays 

Description:

The month of December is here and traditionally in the United States, that means a time for all to celebrate different holidays. The holidays can be a time for employees to gather with their co-workers and families. There tends to be a heavy focus around Christmas as the pivotal religious holiday and cultural event. In a society where about 70% of the population identifies as Christian, and where a large focus centers on Christmas, how can we recognize and honor other religious and secular holidays that coexist and create spaces, events, and policies that are sensitive to various identities, observances, and belief systems??

Please join the Region I DEI Committee Wicked Good Chat in a lively discussion to share a few ways we can reflect on this topic area, learn more about how we are striving to make everyone welcome in both our professional and personal lives and help us move toward a more inclusive holiday season.

Speakers: Rich Robles, VP & Chief Diversity Officer, Human Resources, Boston Children's Hospital, Geraldine Pierre, Senior Research Administrator, Boston Children's Hospital, Karen Griffin, Executive Director of Operations, University of Massachusetts Medical Center
