Session Description

As a follow-up to his June 2021 session, Dr. Bryant T. Marks, a national diversity expert and Founder and Chief Equity Officer of the National Training Institute on Race and Equity (NTIRE), returned with this deep-dive session discussing how the known and unknown biases we hold toward others influence our judgments, behaviors, and decisions—both at the personal and organizational levels. During Dr. Marks’ engaging and interactive workshop, participants explored how individuals could change their personal biases to address biases in organizational behaviors and practices, and learned the three-phase approach to managing and reducing implicit bias via NTIRE’s AAA model—Assessment, Awareness, Action, which provides a step-by-step description of addressing organizational bias to take an evidence-based approach to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion.
