Professional Development Spotlight

As we pass the one-year mark of the Covid-19 pandemic in the US, the Raleigh-Durham Regional Committee has been reflecting on what we’ve learned and what we've had to do to adapt. We see the present moment as an opportunity to continue to push for more equitable and inclusive workplaces where all employees are fully supported and given a chance to thrive. We’ve identified competency around empathy and emotional intelligence as needed now more than ever, especially among leadership and management, to ensure that opportunity is not lost. || Moderator: Megan McCarty | Speakers: Heather Lee, Orshi Kocsis, Laura Peterson
