Member Education | DEI Breakfast Series – Wednesday, January 10 @ 8AM via Zoom

As a Club, Rochester Rotary strives to create and maintain an experience for members and participants that reflects our fundamental core values of service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership; empowers people to contribute at their fullest potential and celebrates people as they are to align with our commitment to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all. DEI educational sessions provide ongoing competency-building through education, practice, reflection, and intentionality. This strengthens our Club, creates an opportunity for participants to incorporate the learning in their businesses, and paves the way for attracting new members.

Our member Adrienne Morgan, Vice President for Equity and Inclusion and Richard Feldman Chief Diversity Officer at the University of Rochester will speak about the importance of civil discourse and the need for respectful dialogue amidst the national and geopolitical challenges we are currently facing.

From Conflict to Connection: The Importance of Civil Discourse

In a time of heightened polarization and divergent perspectives, fostering civil discourse has never been more crucial. ‘From Conflict to Connection: The Importance of Civil Discourse’ explores the transformative power of respectful dialogue in bridging divides and building connections. This talk delves into the fundamental principles of civil discourse, emphasizing the role it plays in navigating disagreement, fostering understanding, and cultivating an inclusive society. Engaging in meaningful conversations allows us to navigate challenges, fostering empathy and understanding. This, in turn, helps build connections that go beyond ideological boundaries.
