Microaggressions are defined as brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages toward marginalized groups. But what does that really mean?

What constitutes a microaggression
How microaggressions impact a company culture
How businesses can create a constructive conversation to build awareness
Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to hear from committee members, ask live questions, share challenges, and connect with fellow local business organizations to learn more about inclusive workplace strategies. 
 
The Chamber is here to help you on your journey and connect you with both like-minded employers and diversity experts.
