As part of our commitment to supporting supportive and inclusive workspaces, we organized a special virtual lunch and learn session on Friday, January 19, 2024 from 12 noon - 1:00 pm.
We were delighted to have experts in the field guide us through this enlightening journey. Their experience and insights enriched our understanding and equipped us with valuable tools for both our personal and professional lives.
