Sexual Orientation Gender Identity & Expression (SOGIE) Workplace Allyship

60 min. duration

Description

You’ve seen the acronyms: LGBT, 2SLGBTQI, maybe even LGBTQQIP2SAA+, but what does it all mean? Fear not, we’re here to break it down for you. Maintaining a supportive and affirming space for individuals from the Sexual Orientation Gender Identity & Expression (SOGIE) community is critical. The key to developing successful and sustainable practices is learning the basics. Join us for a casual conversation, open Q&A, and leave with some tools that will level up your SOGIE Allyship long after the end of Pride Month.
