Tools to Help Advance DEIA in Your Agency

The VisionServe Alliance IDEAL committee is committed to helping VSA members advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in meaningful and sustainable ways. Join us and hear from six leaders in our field about how they have implemented DEIA initiatives to embed the values and practices of inclusion into the daily work at their agencies. The Webinar will also be an opportunity to learn about additional resources made available from VSA to continue your learning well beyond the panel discussion. Whether you have been working in the inclusion space for a long time, are newer to the work, or even unclear on where to begin, we warmly welcome you to be a part of the conversation.
