\n\nThe session addresses the following concepts that can affect how leaders operationalize equity: \;
\n\n\n - Mercy + Justice = Just Mercy
\n - Questions that guide us to becoming a more diverse\, inclusive\, equitable and just organization

\n
\n\nWe'\;ll also explore the impact of the four P&rsquo\;s of Operationalizing Equity:

\n - Policies: How has equity or inequity been codified in your policies?
\n - Practice: How does your organization make decisions and carry out your mission?
\n - People: Are you\, your organization\, and your culture inclusive?
\n
\n\nIn addition\, small group discussion via breakouts will allow attendees to share thoughts\, discuss ideas and gather information regarding best practices and approaches to restructuring their workplaces to advance the core values of diversity\, belonging\, equity and inclusion.
