Webinar Description:

DEI is under fire—but what comes next? Join our conversation on navigating change while keeping compassion, understanding, and community care at the center. Headlines, shifting policies, and cultural debates have left many professionals, leaders, and communities asking: Where do we go from here? As public participation practitioners, our work lives at the intersection of care, compassion, understanding, and cultural sensitivity—but how do we uphold these values amid constant change? If you’ve ever felt uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply curious about navigating this evolving landscape, join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation designed to equip you with insights, strategies, and renewed confidence.
