The Indianapolis Urban League will host their 14th Annual Equal Opportunity Day workshop and luncheon on Tuesday, June 14th at the Indiana Convention Center in the 500 Ballroom. The event’s annual luncheon will feature respected labor economist, noted author, and colorful commentator, Dr. Julianne Malveaux as the keynote speaker and Gerry Dick, current host of Inside INdiana Business, will serve as the master of ceremonies.
Equal Opportunity Day, the signature event of the Indianapolis Urban League, recognizes corporations, individuals and organizations that champion the principles of equal opportunity, civil rights and social justice, while simultaneously raising money to support the organization’s mission, programs and services. IUL Project Ready students and IUL New Beginnings workforce development program participants will be recognized for their scholastic achievements and progress towards employment and self-sufficiency, respectively.
Prior to the luncheon, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow, Clinical Assistant Professor of Management and Business Law at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University-Indianapolis, will lead the Equal Opportunity Day workshop. The workshop entitled “How to Bridge and Manage the Generational Gap in the Workplace” will explore methods for achieving inclusivity among the five generations that exist within today’s workplace. The workshop will also provide solutions for effectively addressing common challenges employees face while working within multi-generational workplaces and offer effective strategies for communication among members of each generation.
The workshop begins promptly at 10:00 am with registration beginning at 9:30 am. The cost is $125 per person. The luncheon is sold out. To learn more about Equal Opportunity Day or other programs and services of the Indianapolis Urban League contact 317-693-7603 or visit www.indplsul.org.
