Our NAWBO San Diego Chapter now has its inaugural DEIB Committee members, and we are excited to introduce you to the stellar members of this newly founded committee.
Their names and LinkedIn links are below. We thank them for volunteering their time!
The mission of the committee is focused on promoting and advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging among the chapter members. The committee members will support our chapter in scaling its practices and activities so all our members can enjoy the opportunities we offer to thrive and grow their businesses. We aim to be a space where we are open to new ideas and celebrate each other’s differences, accomplishments, and successes.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to any one of them to share ideas you may have or to express interest in supporting them. Inclusion is a collective responsibility and endeavor that we all have for one another as NAWBO members. They have agreed to share their LinkedIn profile link, so you can learn more about them and reach out to collaborate with the committee.
DEIB Committee Members
We are looking for a few more members to join our committee, so if you are interested in joining, please email [email protected] with your information, how much time you can contribute per month, and the reasons for wanting to join the committee.
Continuing the list of resources we shared in our December 2023 newsletter, here are some additional articles and resources to further support you in your DEIB efforts.
One of the first steps to becoming an inclusive and equitable business owner and community leader is self-reflection and building our awareness about biases we may have. And we all have them, by the way!
Go to our NAWBO Blog for a list of links to learn how bias can show up in our communication and decision-making. Also, look out for some announcements in the National NAWBO newsletter about an upcoming interactive workshop in March, for more tools to manage Unconscious Bias.
