A description of the event…
The Town of Weston desires to become a welcoming community where everyone will want to
live and return to. With DEI serving as a crucial component in fostering a welcoming
atmosphere, consultant KJR will facilitate a conversation that guides the community through
understanding the key concepts of DEI. Together we will align on a common language for
diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will explore the science of bias and the impact of default
thinking in community interactions, and provide participants with the tools, strategies, and
techniques to decode and disrupt bias in real time. Finally, KJR will provide a high-level
introduction to race and racism and lead a brief discussion on the systemic effect on achieving
the goals and outcomes of inclusion and equity.
