The Business Leadership Training (BLT) is a partnership between Kent State Twinsburg Academic Center and the Twinsburg and Nordonia Hills Chambers of Commerce. The BLT bi-monthly programming is free and open to the public.
On Thursday, January 20, 2022, from noon – 1:00 p.m., a virtual presentation covering diversity, equity, and inclusion will be available for anyone to attend. "DEI&B 101: An Introduction to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging" will be presented by AJ Leu (they/them), Diversity and Career Development Director in the College of Communication and Information at Kent State University. This virtual BLT program will provide fundamental building blocks about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B). Participants will engage in reflections and discussions that will allow them to explore terminology and practical application skills. Concepts will include diversity, equality/equity, inclusion/belonging, common terminology, and allyship. This workshop aims to provide participants with an initial understanding of DEI&B concepts, so they may participate in additional workshops that allow for deeper exploration and more specialized topics.
