Please join us for another diversity & inclusion workshop – Alvin Brooks, Binding Us Together.
Mr. Brooks will be sharing his perspective from a lifetime as a civil rights activist and public servant, sharing stories that are heartfelt, tragic, and inextricably linked to our past and present. More relevant than ever to society today, his life’s work has been to better his community, make the world fairer for all, and diminish bias and discrimination. He proves that a good heart, generous spirit, and a lot of work can connect the world and bind us together.
