Join us for The Inclusion Exchange, a free, quarterly speaker series in partnership with the Grand Rapids LGBTQ+ Healthcare Consortium. Together, we’ll explore practical, people-centered strategies for building inclusive, affirming environments across our workplaces, organizations, and communities.

Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding, strengthen your workplace culture, or support your neighbors more thoughtfully — you’re welcome at this table.

Participants who attend all four sessions may qualify for Safe Spaces Accreditation through the Grand Rapids LGBTQ+ Healthcare Consortium — a meaningful designation for businesses and organizations committed to inclusion and support of the queer community.
