Implicit Bias Training
July 14 & 16, 2020
11:00am-12:00pm
South Charleston Chamber Member, Epiphany Consulting, is sponsoring a special training event, "Implicit Bias: Unpacking Hidden Prejudices, which will be conducted by the YWCA Racial Justice Committee.
This two-part training will be held virtually on Tuesday, July 14th and Thursday, July 16th from 11am - 12pm. You will need to register for both days. The training is being offered free of charge, but there are only fifty spots for this event. To receive the registration link, please email executivedirector@southcharlestonchamber.org.
The purpose of the two-part training is to help community leaders understand race-related concepts in hopes of breaking down the barriers racial bias creates. Further objectives of this training include providing a historical background of race relations and discrimination, recognizing common diversity and inclusion related misconceptions, and defining Implicit Bias and discussing how bias manifests in our daily lives. This presentation provides a safe space to encourage honest dialogue surrounding racial bias in the world around us.
We look forward to this important dialogue.
