LIVESTREAM EVENT

DEI initiatives are at a crossroads. While businesses have recognized the importance and value of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, they have struggled to maintain momentum and live up to their DEI pledges. The calendar is rich with “Awareness Months” and other such calls to action, but what has been the net effect and what can companies learn from their successes and shortcomings? On the eve of the next Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month—celebrating its 45th year of recognition—our panel will discuss their lived experience, observations, and recommendations for AAPI awareness that translates into productive action the other eleven months of the year.

Panelists:

• Rajeev Majumdar, Managing Partner – Whatcom Law Group, PS; (prev) President – Washington State Bar Association
  Makalika Naholowa’a, Executive Director – Native Hawaiian Legal Corp.; President-Elect – National Native American Bar Assoc.; (prev.) Assistant General Counsel – Microsoft Corp.
  Michael Itti, Executive Director – CISC; (prev.) Executive Director – Washington State Commission on Asian-Pacific American Affairs
