Using Intersectionality as a Starting Point
It’s no accident the theme of the 2019 Report is Intersections: Identity, Access and Equity. Californians are talking about equity for women, and that requires us to understand that our identities are multiple. Those intersections – of race, socio-economic status, age, and more – shape who we are and how we identify with our workplaces and communities. So we dig in: what is intersectionality and why is it so important?

Checking in: Are we Gaining Ground with Diversity and Inclusion or Just Talking About It?
It seems every organization across California has an Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and yet there is much work to be done ensuring that all Californians have equal opportunities. In this panel, industry leaders will share their innovative approaches to diversity and inclusion issues, modeling equitable practices for the rest of the country. Is equity truly in our grasp or are we moving too slowly?
