The Massachusetts Municipal Human Resources Association's Annual Fall Conference will be a three-session webinar series taking place weekly on Thursdays at 11 a.m., with the first session on Oct. 8.
The conference will kick off with a cultural humility and dexterity training by Lakisha Coppedge, founder and principal of Coppedge Consulting. She will examine the connections between historic and current racism and discuss strategies for building stronger communities and strengthening relationships, as well as best practices for working and living in inclusive spaces.
Following the training, Coppedge will be joined by Springfield Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Talia Gee and attorney Meghan Sullivan, managing partner of Sullivan, Hayes & Quinn, LLC, for a panel discussion about diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
The Fall Conference will also feature sessions on the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act with attorney Jackie Kugell, partner at Morgan, Brown & Joy, and pay equity with attorney Cheryl Pinarchick, a partner at Fisher Phillips.
