Join ARA in partnership with presenting sponsor and host Chicago Trading Company (CTC) and in collaboration with Women@Groupon on Wednesday, March 22nd for our kick-off event of 2017—A Journey in Progress: Diversity AND Inclusion.
Â
The word AND has never been more important. As organizations work to innovate and impact, building programs to address both diversity AND inclusion is a game-changing strategy. As with any work that involves change, growth and/or advancement, the journey is challenging – and at times uncomfortable – but certainly manageable with commitment. See for yourself through the lens of those navigating the road well worth taking.
Â
The evening will feature lightning talks from industry leaders who will be sharing insights on the importance both of diversity AND inclusion.
Â
Additional event details, including full speaker list, to be announced soon.

Space is limited – register today!
