Speaker:

Many companies or organizations have some form of diversity discussion or activity groups as part of their internal communication programs. But if you’re ready to move from stale “Taco Tuesdays” to true employee engagement and inclusion efforts that embrace and explore your staff’s diverse backgrounds, cultures and interests, then don’t miss our first program of this year’s Sunrise Seminar series!

Yesenia Garcia Key will share insights she has gleaned from her role as the regional and national leader of Univera Healthcare's many employee resource groups. These groups include active committees addressing the interests and needs of audiences including women, African Americans, Hispanics, LGBT communities, Asians, vegetarians and many more. They not only build pride among employees, the groups act as a sounding board and resource for management and the company’s communication and marketing programs, helping to increase satisfaction of employees, customers and bottom line success.

NOTES: Registration begins at 8 a.m.  A light breakfast will be served.
