Playing Inside or Out
Who’s team are you on? You’ve likely heard or thought of that phrase, rather on a field or not! It is an on-field and off-field description that’s often pondered when unfair activity is afoot. The power endowed in you as a teammate or leader allows for that display of in group/out group favoritism and fairness. Checking yourself is the thing that busts-up those biases. Let’s get to work to disrupt the bias!
Join the presenters of the Durham Chamber of Commerce as we feature Durham resident, Shantell Thomas. She brings 20+ years in the tech arena with RTP area companies as a marketer and D&I practitioner. She’s a trusted confidant of the C-suite, a Durham Business Owner of Eventually and a Conference Speaker. Now, the opportunity exists for you to snag a few tips from her toolbox and maybe even share a few of your own, in this workshop-style session.

Public Policy Update from the desk of Bryan Fox, VP of Public Policy
It was an honor to recognize longtime public servants Bill Bell and Mickey Michaux at our Annual Meeting, and see many of you there! We also enjoyed last week's State of the County Address, and continue to track state and local issues being worked though budgets and other processes. Upcoming local meetings we're monitoring include the City Council tonight and Thursday afternoon, and Joint City-County Planning Committee Wednesday morning. Considering helping fill a vacancy on City & County Boards & Commissions, continue to reach out anytime, and stay tuned for Public Policy event announcements.
