  • I highly recommend participating in ARD workshops. My experience has been great in both I've attended so far and I have come away both times with tangible action items and tools to start implementing on my DEIB Working Team. Workshops are accessible and some great conversation happens among attendees as well--we can all learn from each other!

  • I've been following ARD for a long time now and this was my first training session. I loved how many people were logged on to learn together. It proved that something is going right!

  • The workshop was energizing and engaging. Exactly the boost and expertise needed to re-engage with DEI work.
