Here are some articles and resources to further support you in your DEIB efforts. One of the first
steps to becoming an inclusive and equitable business owner and community leader is self-
reflection and building our awareness about biases we may have. And we all have them, by
the way! Below is a list of links to learn how bias can show up in our communication and
decision-making.
Also, look out for some announcements in the National NAWBO newsletter
about an upcoming interactive workshop in March, for more tools to manage Unconscious Bias.
Details are below.
