DE&I Practitioners' Forum 

Join us for a quarterly, one-hour forum for diversity, equity and inclusion practitioners (DE&I) and anyone responsible for creating and guiding DE&I strategies for WSIA member firms. This is a safe space to collaborate,
share best practices and learn from one another in a supportive, interactive setting. WSIA is committed to supporting our members in building diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces and to embed them throughout their organizations.
