Please join us and ACC Northeast's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee as we sponsor this interactive discussion regarding the legal landscape surrounding various organizational diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and the legal pitfalls organizations face if programs are not thoughtfully planned and executed with consideration of relevant employment laws.
