The House Has Voted to Rescind Public Media Funding

This vote threatens federal support for programming on WITF — putting at risk educational programming, trusted news and emergency communications that our community depends on produced locally and from PBS and NPR. Now the proposal heads to the Senate.

Your voice is urgently needed. Call your senator and donate today to help protect the future of local public media.

Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) is an important hiring framework for managers and business owners as they develop their workforce and workplace culture.

The concept of DEI is not new, but it has taken on an urgency for organizations looking to reflect the image and values of the customers they serve. The concept of DEI goes beyond class, race, ethnicity, and gender; understanding this helps managers set attainable objectives.

Monica Gould is the President and founder of Strategic Consulting Partners and will share what DEI is, why organizations need it, and how to see through the misconceptions. She appears on Smart Talk Tuesday, along with Susan Wallace, VP of Human Resources for Carlisle Construction Materials who will share her organization’s approach to DEI.
