January 26, 2022 — Taking Action in DEI with Level D&I and Zettabytes.Today!

     

For our January 26, 2022 event, we were joined by Level D&I for an incredible panel on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! 

The incredible Khris Goins crafted a Ginger Smash for us, and gave a lovely demonstration around how to craft this refresher! 

Immediately afterwards, our Vinny Sanfillipo crafted up a more floral version of a French 75, full of flavors of champagne, lemon and St. Germain. 

Chelsea Akers, COO of Level D&I gave us a great presentation about what Level D&I does and their new product-line around helping companies take charge of their DEI strategies. 

Following Chelsea's presentation, we had a fantastic discussion with our esteemed panelists! LinkedIn links and profiles below! :D

It was an absolutely wonderful panel around DEI initiatives, how to be the changes you want to see at an organization, and strategies to get buy in from the larger organization and community.
