Registration is now open for our March 2022 membership meeting.

Dr. Anu Taranath will teach us how to become better at engaging in critical conversation about race, identity, difference and power.

The meeting will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday, March 15 via Zoom.  Meetings are free and open to anyone, regardless of gender or employment status.

Description:

What makes such conversations often fraught, unpredictable and uncomfortable? Why are our good intentions absolutely critical, and yet also not enough? We will develop small yet powerful ways to navigate our discomfort with more courage and nuance. Let's actually talk together about the issues we care about deeply with less nervousness and more courage!
