Creating a racially equitable and just environment requires us to recognize and address the unconscious biases that live in all of us.

- Learn the definition of unconscious bias and how it is formed
- Learn how unconscious bias negatively affects diversity and inclusion efforts
- Learn key strategies for eliminating bias individually and organizationally
