Lerner Diversity Council Lunch & Learn 2.24.2021

In this session, we will be showcasing the new course on Race in Business.

This course is not designed to simply TELL YOU about the value of diversity in organizations. The objective of this course is to allow future business and community leaders like you to make independent assessments of past practices, and contributions to viable strategies aimed at an inclusive business community of the future. To come up with viable strategies, it is important for you to understand, from an historical perspective, the impact of centuries of racist practices on business practices like branding, promotional
methods, entrepreneurial investment decisions etc. It is important for you to understand why these historical notions continue to affect business practices today and evaluate via difficult and uncomfortable, albeit productive discussions, the paths that many businesses have chosen to address issues related to racism.
