2021 Diversity Summit

PLLIP-SIS and BLL-SIS are excited to announce the inaugural Diversity Summit: From Difficult Conversations to Collaborative Action. The year 2020 has been one of upheaval and change, but has made obvious that serious and important conversations need to take place regarding race, both in the world and in our profession. PLLIP Summits have historically been a place to explore ways to embrace change and we are excited to partner with the BLL-SIS to launch the first ever Diversity Summit, which was created to facilitate these discussions in order to find a call to action in which we can all take part.

The Diversity Summit will be held as a virtual event on Friday, February 26, 2021, so please save the date. More details about the day’s programming will be forthcoming.
