Virginia Commonwealth University
This conversation will be most useful when heard by all parties to better understand the challenges faced by Black professionals in the workplace, and how anyone in any role can be a part of positive change. We want to take advantage of the fact that FindSpark can connect folks from all pieces of the workplace puzzle — to not just listen but to act.
Topics to Be Covered Include
Each speaker will be interviewed and interview another speaker, giving them time to go in-depth, more so then a traditional panel format allows. The event will feature a live chat for attendees to discuss, ask questions, and engage with speakers as well. Upon registration, attendees can also send thoughts or questions for our speakers in advance, which we encourage and can be asked anonymously.
Will I meet other people at this virtual event?
Yes! Attendees will have a chance to network with each other during the event, and share their LinkedIn, ask questions, etc.
Is this virtual event really live?
Yes! This virtual event is LIVE. This is NOT a recording.
What if I can’t make it live? Is there a way to tune in later?
Glad you asked! When you register, once the recording is ready, you’ll get access to the recording. So if you know you can’t make it, we recommend still RSVPing to the event.
I’m a Black member of the FindSpark community, is there a way for me to share my experiences or advice?
Yes! We created our FindSpark Black Voices Prompt as a way to elevate the Black voices in our community. Learn more and share here (anonymously if you’d like).
