Following the training, CCTT will host their February Resource Sharing Meeting. The meeting, Race and Equity 3 Part Training Series with Franklin Hysten, will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

During the session, attendees will develop common language of equity, inequity and the social identities that are targets and privileged by these dynamics, engage peers in a conversation that explores what gets in the way of implementation of our DEI vision, and develop language we can use at work to individually interrupt non-inclusive or oppressive language.
