Date: April 26, 2023 5:30 – 7:30pm

Location: Virtual via Zoom

In response, many organizations have started to consider or have furthered their EDI work. However, there are often misconceptions about EDI and an oversight that EDI is interconnected to human rights, which can have negative impacts on an organization.
Join us for an information session on the basics of EDI and its interrelation to human rights and legislative obligations.
