MESH Diversity online session
Access: Members Only, Public
Join MESH September 25 at 1pm, online for an engaging, transformative Equity and Inclusion session designed specifically for Abilities Manitoba!
As champions of social justice and advocates for people with disabilities, we understand that true equity goes beyond policy—it’s about fostering a culture, mindset, and meaningful actions. We’re delighted to partner with MESH to bring you practical, real-world strategies for creating workplaces and communities where everyone truly thrives.
We’ll begin the session with a brief recap of the powerful message MESH shared with us in our General Membership Meeting on Dec 11, 2024. Through thought-provoking discussions, Dr. Leeno Karumanchery will guide us in navigating both the challenges and opportunities of equity and inclusion work, addressing the unique experiences of service providers. Whether you’re seeking to deepen your understanding or gain new tools, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
Abilities Manitoba is also excited to announce a new partnership with MESH, a collaboration that will meaningfully enhance our member services and resources. During the session, you’ll learn how this joint initiative aims to support, inform, and empower our member organizations. After the brief recap, the MESH team will delve into the partnership’s specific benefits for Abilities Manitoba members, including exclusive training opportunities, priority access to innovative tools, and expanded networking avenues. Members of Abilities Manitoba are being offered a discounted rate to MESH's DEI offerings that include webinars, AI software and one on one leadership coaching sessions.
To conclude, the final 30 minutes will be devoted to a Q&A with Dr. Karumanchery and the MESH team—an invaluable opportunity to gain deeper insights and clarity on the benefits of this collaboration. Whether you attend the entire session or join for selected segments, we warmly invite you and your colleagues to participate, learn, and contribute to this collective effort.
This session promises to be both informative and engaging, underscoring our shared commitment to extending support and resources throughout our organizations and communities. We look forward to seeing you there! Attendees will have opportunities following the session to meet one on one with MESH to design the options that would benefit you most. Registration information will be shared with MESH.
