GBC to host Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit

The Greater Baltimore Committee announced Wednesday it will conduct the inaugural Bridging the Gap Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit this fall, featuring nationally recognized expert Steve Robbins, who has assisted major corporations in addressing such issues in the workplace.

The Oct. 21 event at the SMC Campus Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore will bring together majority-, minority- and women-owned businesses and civic organizations to discuss effective strategies to help businesses, institutions and other organizations initiate or accelerate efforts to be more diverse, equitable and inclusive in the workplace.

Robbins, the event’s keynote speaker, is the founder and owner of S.L. Robbins and Associates, a consulting firm on human behavior issues and the author of the book “What If? Short Stories to Spark Diversity Dialogue.”

Robbins’ speech for the event is titled “Your Brain is Good at Inclusion … Except when It’s Not.” His presentation will be followed by two concurrent workshops and a networking reception.
