This event will feature Jill Osur, Founder and CEO of Teneral Cellars, and provides an opportunity to explore new wines and flavors, a time to build connections with each other and dive deep into Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) conversations. During the event, our facilitators will guide you through exercises, discussions, and explorations on topics including how we each show up every day, unconscious biases, how to disrupt your industry, and how we can support and lift each other up.
“There’s much awareness in corporations now on DEI. We can all do better by including awareness of Belonging,” said Beth Hilbing, Sr. Program Manager and Principal IT Business Partner at Boeing, as well as Co-CEO of C-Sweet. “Belonging means feeling secure and supported, when you can bring your authentic self to the workplace.”
