New Conference Session: Diversity & Inclusion
GMA is pleased to announce the addition of another session for this year’s Leadership Conference, Diversity and Inclusion. This has become an incredibly discussed topic over the last six months and your Association is pleased to add it to our already incredible lineup of presentations for this year’s conference.
The Diversity & Inclusion session will be held immediately following lunch and is open to all HR professionals in your organization at no additional cost, if you are a registered conference participant.
Jeff Smith from Fisher Phillips will be presenting the topic and elaborating on current events that are making employees and customers more aware of diversity and inclusion. He will be answering questions such as:
- What is diversity and inclusion?
- What is its place in the workplace?
- How can it help your business?
- Where should an employer start?
Mark Monday, September 14, on your calendar for the Graphic Media Alliance (GMA) annual Leadership Conference. This conference has received rave reviews for a number of years and promises to be another fantastic LEARNING experience. Even though it will be structured a little differently this year, there will still be plenty of NETWORKING opportunities with your Association and industry peers!
Nationally known speakers will be presenting via Zoom and as a conference attendee, you can choose to attend from your office, conference room or in-person. If you’re tired of virtual, virtual, virtual and would like to safely network with your friends and peers, then join us in person! Michigan members can attend in West Bloomfield Township at the Marshbank Lodge and Ohio & Kentucky members can join us in Westerville, Ohio at the Everal Barn and Homestead. We have reserved these beautiful all-weather, safety-minded outdoor meeting facilities to host our great networking and educational events. GMA staff and Board members will welcome Michigan and regional members and friends to view the Zoomed presentations together, while enjoying refreshments, lunch and in-person interactions. Between the national Zoom presentations, local activities will include regional speakers, raffles and contests. PEA Best of Category and Best of Show winners will be recognized during the Millcraft Grand Ceremony presentation immediately following lunch, and winners can receive their awards in-person if attending the local conference site.
