🤩 Save the date: our first event in Melbourne!
We’ve partnered with Deloitte to host our first in-person event in Melbourne. Our event, ‘From allyship to action: Empowering leaders of colour,’ will explore ways to transform allyship into action that actively supports and empowers racially and culturally diverse people in the workplace.
This panel will feature senior leaders in Australia, and advocates for racial and cultural inclusion, who will speak to their successes, challenges and the key role that sponsors and allies should play in actively advancing racially and culturally diverse people in their careers. Walk away with a guide to being an active sponsor and hear real life examples from the panel, plus the opportunity to connect and network with other attendees.
This is an in-person free event jointly hosted by Careers in Colour and Deloitte on Tuesday 20 August, 5:30pm - 7:30pm (AEST) at Deloitte offices in Melbourne. Register now here!
