The topic will be
Creating a More Inclusive Workplace for Gender and Sexual Minorities

We encourage you to read this report
<https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/2018/07/29/how-to-create-an-inclusive-environment-for-lgbtq-employees/#6f740de35bb5>
to provide context on the topic and get some ideas flowing. We will begin
the event by providing a bit of information and encouraging people to sit
at tables with people they don't know. We'll provide some guiding questions
and examples of scenarios to talk through, but we'll leave lots of room for
the discussions to go in whatever direction you want!

If you have specific examples that you would like to privately suggest for
discussion, please email wcc-chairs at whoi.edu.

The entire WHOI community is invited and encouraged to attend. Tea, coffee,
and pastries will be provided. Please bring your own mug.

Your RSVP is requested (but not required) by Monday, June 3 to help with
planning.
RSVP TODAY
