22-G. From Vision to Practice: Planning for Inclusion

In 2022, LeadingAge Ohio incorporated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals into its strategic plan. It then enlisted volunteers from member organizations to help create meaningful DEI resources within the Buckeye State. In this session, presenters will discuss how a DEI framework can help reduce employee turnover, improve workforce satisfaction, and create more welcoming environments for residents. You'll learn how current trends and public sentiment about DEI may impact the aging services sector and explore strategies for maintaining and advancing DEI initiatives in a shifting social and political landscape.
