At KSA's 12th Annual Meeting, we announced the launch of a program, more than a year in the making, Inclusion Drives Innovation (IDI). This program is a direct response to KSA members’ requests for expanded programming on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in order to help them continue to prioritize and get smarter about the strategies they use. It is an expansion of KSA’s DEI work that began in 2018 and, in 2019, included a year-long learning journey for 17 Kendall leaders led by Civic Designers.

IDI is a ticketed professional development program led by a professional facilitator with a practical, tactical approach to identifying and scaling up DEI best practices. IDI participants will deepen their network, learn tools to measure their organization’s DEI practices and share thoughtful, scalable ideas for creating a more inclusive workplace.
