Time: 12:30PM – 1PM CT  //  1:30 PM – 2 PM ET

Panel Info:

DE&I initiatives drive significant change, sparking dialog and action. But despite considerable progress, many programs exclude disability communities, missing out on the valuable insights, expertise, and perspectives its members have to offer. This session showcases firsthand experiences on working with a disability, along with a real look at what practical actions can be taken to ensure disability gets equal attention across your DE&I programming moving forward.

Speakers:

  • Lawrence Carter-Long, Director, Communications, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF)
  • Lydia X.Z. Brown, Policy Counsel, Privacy & Data Project, Center for Democracy & Technology
