Join us as we hear from two Lincoln leaders who have demonstrated Rising and Lifting in parallel.

Barbara Bartle has led our community for many years as we have grown and evolved in a collective effort to see a prosperous, inclusive, and flourishing Lincoln. While she rose in her career, she lifted others along the way, and we cannot wait to hear all about her journey.

To best dig in to the details of lifting others, Liz Lange, a twenty-year expert in the non-profit leadership space, and founder and owner of Liz Lang Consulting, will interview Barbara. These two will be a dynamic pair and leave us with the tools to take forward as we too, lift others, as we rise.

A special thank you to the Lincoln Community Foundation for hosting the event and making it a no-cost development option for all Lincoln women in business!

On Thursday, April 22nd at 5:30 pm (CST), we heard from Uche Enemchukwu, a benefits attorney who started her own consulting firm, Nelu Solutions.

Now that we understand the business case for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DE&I”) in the workplace and the many barriers bias creates for diverse employees, during this event Enemchukwu took us through actionable steps we can take to tweak existing systems and processes to advance change. 

Key takeaways:

• Building an inclusive workplace and designing equitable policies based on people’s lived experiences

• Driving a culture of equity and inclusion through Benefits and Total Rewards programs

• Being an ally

Our December RISE & Connect event, LISTEN, LEARN, LEAD will take place on Thursday, December 10 at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom. This panel discussion will feature local experts who are willing to share their perspective and extensive work around inclusivity and bias.

We've learned from the last two RISE & Connect events that we all have biases, so our continued work should involve recognizing those biases and improving ourselves through education and conversations with others. 

We are thrilled to continue the conversation around becoming more incluive during this month's event: Retrain Your Brain with Dr. Gwen Combs. 

Dr. Combs is an associate professor of management and Director for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion in the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She will be leading a discussion to help our individual journey of inclusion, diversity and belonging along with breakout discussions to deepen the conversation. 

This event is FREE to attend.
