A MASTER CLASS IN BUILDING DEI AND CAUSE-RELATED CAMPAIGNS

It has become imperative for organizations to show that they are giving back to the communities in which they operate and are making strong progress in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion. As stakeholders examine who is living up to their promises, communicators must prove that their efforts will result in lasting social impact. PRNEWS’ Social Impact Summit will teach you how to build meaningful DEI and cause-related campaigns, programs and strategies as well as how to be an ally to underrepresented, marginalized communities.
