Join us for a continuation of PRSA Buffalo Niagara’s DEI Insights program. Last year’s panel explored how organizations were defining and communicating DEI amid shifting corporate and social expectations. This year, we’re taking the conversation further by examining how those commitments come to life in practice when fear, uncertainty, and trauma are present.

  • Panelist: Yvonne Dubois, Chief Impact Officer, Child and Family Services

  • Panelist: Lisa Coppola, Esq., Attorney, The Coppola Firm

  • Panelist: Andrea Todoro, School Leader, West Buffalo Charter School

We’ll explore a timely and pressing question: How do we responsibly communicate with students, patients, and communities who are experiencing fear and uncertainty?
