Throughout the past year, we took bold, and sometimes uncomfortable, steps to start conversations that we never thought possible. These movements included courageous conversations with business leaders, training opportunities that delved into difficult topics, toolkits for all V Teamers and people leaders, and so much more.
In 2021, we’re moving #ForwardTogether to take our momentum from 2020 into 2021 to help achieve equity and justice for everyone. This year’s theme, Beyond the Conversation, embraces and encourages its own type of movement — one of taking individual and collective action to inspire change for racial and social justice with urgency, passion, and conviction.
From virtual networking sessions with our BOLD (Black Originators, Leaders, and Doers) ERG, to impactful volunteering initiatives and more, here’s a quick overview of everything we have planned for the month.
