" 'Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.' — Jesse Jackson Leaders today understand that making progress with diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility is a journey of cultural change that they must undertake. What are you doing to propel change and inclusion within your company culture and beyond? Diversity, equity and inclusion — commonly referred to as DEI — has become increasingly important in the workplace. Employers must now actively work to create meaningful change in spite of the history of injustice that has marginalized underrepresented groups within the workplace. Let's take a deeper look into how we can be more inclusive to our veteran community. Join us as we strive to move the conversation forward. This discussion is open to professionals and business owners interested in learning more about leadership for a changing demographic. Let's discuss how transformational leadership is enacted for diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility within your teams and programs. Our forum provides a safe space to have relevant discussion, with an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility. We invite leaders from throughout the country to infuse their knowledge and wisdom with the group so that we can have an enriching and deepening shared experience. Please join us! "When everyone is included, everyone wins." — Jesse Jackson About Sean Kelso Proven and experienced problem solver, dedicated public servant, critical thinker, with a growth mindset. I have served my Country for the past 10 years honorably as an active duty Marine and Oregon National Guard member. I continue to serve the Veteran community in my role with the State of Oregon. My primary focus is to conduct outreach to employers and engage in advocacy efforts with hiring executives to increase employment opportunities for veterans, encourage the hiring of disabled veterans, and generally assist veterans to gain and retain employment. I attribute my success and professional development throughout my career to the core values, leadership skills, and work ethic I learned and perfected during my time in Military."
