WELLINGTON – Feb. 11, 2022 – Bilingual managers and staff of Island non-profit organizations are being invited to attend a free two-part, online workshop on diversity, equity and inclusion on the theme “Moving from Unconscious to Conscious Bias” next month. The first part is slated for Thursday, March 3rd, from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. and the second part Thursday, March 31st, from 12 noon to 1 p.m.
