Registration through EventBrite - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/being-the-rainbow-practical-allyship-for-lgbtq-inclusion-tickets-1688632728949?aff=oddtdtcreator

As efforts to make workplaces more inclusive and equitable are under attack, advocating for underrepresented groups is more important than ever. Allyship has to be more than a gesture, but an ongoing commitment to inclusion, respect, and equity. Being a genuine ally to the LGBTQ+ community requires more than showing up during Pride Month. It demands consistent action, reflection, and the willingness to use your voice and influence in meaningful ways.

This session offers a grounded, honest look at what it means to be an active LGBTQ+ ally in both professional and personal contexts. Designed for individuals at any stage of their allyship journey, this conversation moves beyond theory to deliver:

  • Everyday actions that signal respect and create safer, more inclusive spaces

  • Workplace strategies to support LGBTQ+ colleagues through policy, culture, and leadership

  • Common missteps and how to navigate them with humility and growth

  • Sustainable practices to avoid allyship fatigue and maintain long-term impact

Led by experts, this session is a judgment-free space to learn, ask questions, and leave with a renewed sense of clarity and confidence.

Whether you're a manager, colleague, friend, or family member, you’ll walk away with tangible tools to be a more thoughtful and effective ally—365 days a year.

Expected outcomes:

  • Increased awareness about allyship and its importance

  • Insights into what makes an effective ally

  • Understanding of allyship pitfalls
