Diversity in Green: A Panel Discussion with Green Professionals and
Diversity Experts
<http://greenhomenyc.org/blog/diversity-in-green-a-panel-discussion-with-green-professionals-and-diversity-experts/>

Today’s workforce is becoming increasingly diverse — but although great
strides have been made in the past few years, there are still many barriers
and additional hurdles that traditionally underrepresented populations may
face when searching for employment.



Join green professionals and diversity experts for a panel discussion on
diversity in today’s green workforce. This is a session for everyone who is
interested in making their organizations more just, fair, and equitable.
Join us as GreenHomeNYC tackles these questions:



   - What are some of the barriers minorities of all kinds face when
   searching for employment and within their organizations once they are hired?
   - Why is diversity important to an organization and how can you
   encourage diversity within your own company?
   - How do the best organizations already address diversity in the
   workplace?
   - How can you encourage diversity in the hiring and promotion processes?
   - How are environmental issues and social justice issues are related?
