Emergency managers are at the forefront of a range of crises in our rapidly changing world. Adopting a Diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI) mindset will help emergency managers serve the public with greater attention to the needs of various communities and groups. Join us for an engaging conversation on how DEI relates to emergency management, DEI at IAEM, and the steps needed to drive meaningful change on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 from 1:30 - 2:30 pm ET.

Participants are highly encouraged to watch the 30-minute DEI Spotlight Session keynote from the Annual Conference to be most prepared for a meaningful discussion. In this video, you’ll gain foundational DEI knowledge as it applies to the field of emergency management and initial findings from the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) assessment at IAEM.

Facilitated by the Farzana Nayani, Consulting & Training team with findings from the IAEM DEI Assessment, this session is critical in continuing the conversation about DEI in emergency management and at IAEM. If you want to see the results of the IAEM DEI Assessment and recommendations, stay tuned for further announcements on the full Readout Session delivered in early 2024.
