Spring is just around the corner with opportunities for employers in the construction industry to come together at the 2020 Diversity and Inclusion Summit hosted by ANEW. This event will be held on April 1, 2020 at the Tacoma Convention Center. This summit will be an opportunity for professional organizations to learn how to bring on and diversify their workforce while also preparing their workplace to retain their employees. This year, the theme of the summit is Communicate, Collaborate, and Commit. The overall focus is to encourage industry partners to work together to create a more inclusive workplace and to commit to these practices, ensuring communication from the top down and bottom up. Among the several keynote speakers, ANEW is excited to host Kimberly Davis, TEDx speaker and award-winning author of Brave Leadership: Unleash Your Most Confident, Authentic, and Powerful Self to Get the Results You Need. An expert on authentic leadership, Kimberly shares her inspirational message of personal power, responsibility and impact with organizations across the country and teaches leadership programs world-wide. Additionally, there will be breakout sessions offered throughout the day that focus on Generational Differences, Intersectionality, Leadership and Management Change, Bystander Intervention, and Respectful Workplace Training. Founded in 1980, ANEW is the oldest, continuously running pre-apprenticeship program in the nation with a successful reputation for training people to enter the construction industry.
