<strong>BCMA Workshop: Transforming Workplace Culture - Active Allyship in Challenging Moments</strong></em></p>

<p style="margin:0"> </p>
<p style="margin:0">
By exploring scenarios involving interpersonal and systemic power dynamics that occur within organizations, participants will identify strategies and hone skills for: noticing insidious forms of harm/discrimination; receiving disclosures of microaggressions; intervening in alignment with personal and organizational values; creating environments of repair among team members; staying accountable when one has caused harm; and, tailoring response strategies when harm is caused by patrons/members of the public.
