In an era where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives face increasing scrutiny and resistance, how do we remain steadfast in our commitment to building inclusive workplaces and ensuring equity in behavioral health and peer-driven spaces?
This Day 2 keynote panel at the Alliance for Rights and Recovery Executive Seminar will bring together leaders who have successfully navigated DEI challenges while maintaining and strengthening their organizations’ commitment to a diverse, representative workforce. Panelists will explore strategies for sustaining DEI efforts, addressing resistance, and ensuring that equity remains a core value rather than a passing initiative.
As policies shift and opposition grows, this session will provide practical insights on:
– Why an inclusive workforce remains essential for innovation, representation, and impact.
– How organizations can adapt and embed DEI principles into their culture despite external challenges.
– Actionable steps for protecting progress and continuing to champion equity at every level.
This is not just a conversation—it’s a call to action to ensure that our commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and justice stays strong, no matter the obstacles.
Our program also features a Thursday afternoon award ceremony honoring the extraordinary efforts of Emil Slane, former Chief Fiscal Officer, NYS Office of Mental Health and Patrick Wildes, former Assistant Secretary for Human Services and Mental Hygiene
