MaiiC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Webinar

As a result of the many conversations and efforts to bring attention to racial disparities, the MaiiC executive board took stock of its role to facilitate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within industrial workplaces. Action was taken to both launch an industry focused assessment and to bring together leaders to share what actions companies can do to take initiative on DEI within their walls.

MaiiC hosted a DEI webinar on March 3rd, 2021, where we heard from a DEI expert and industrial business leaders on their perspectives on what business leaders can do to facilitate action on DEI.

Starting with a presentation by Dr. LB Hannahs of Tangible Development, the webinar also featured a panel discussion of NYC industrial business leaders highlighting real-life efforts in the DEI journey: Eric Ottaway, CEO of Brooklyn Brewery; Melanie Littlejohn of National Grid; and Jamil Ellis, CTO of Bright Power
