Co-hosted by Brock’s Social Justice Research Institute (SJRI) and United Way Niagara, “Exploring Best Practices for Meeting Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Goals: A Three-Part Workshop Series” will take place virtually over the coming months to help organizations identify and address their EDI goals.

The series includes:
