We live and breathe in acronym soup – DEI, DEIB, DEIA, JEDI, DEIBAA – but what do the words behind the letters mean? And, what do they mean to your colleagues? Because, if you put 12 people in a room, each person can have a different, if not viable definition for diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, accessibility, justice, and antiracism, for example. Who is right?! It’s not that simple, but we can figure it out together. This session will focus on the importance of level-setting language and ensuring the importance of what these DEI-focused terms means to ensure everyone is speaking with each other and not past each other.
We are America’s oldest and largest nonprofit association devoted to excellence in the delivery of legal services to those who cannot afford counsel. There is no other legal organization that touches on all the access points of poverty as does NLADA.
