Themed, Cultural Competence: How to Embrace Unique Perspectives to Maximize Professional Growth, the Women’s Initiative’s Spring Professional Series will take place Tuesday, March 23, from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The virtual event will feature Allouch, whose litigation experience includes matters involving employment, civil rights, personal injury and workers’ compensation, sharing stories about her experiences living and working in Northern Kentucky. Additionally, Allouch will discuss the ways attendees can enhance their own cultural competency.
“We hear so much about diversity, equity and inclusion that they sometimes become endangered of just feeling like the latest buzzwords; with all her achievements, Allouch is living proof why they are not,” says Sarah Gray, Vice President of Business Banking at U.S. Bank and Women’s Initiative Professional Series Committee Chair. “We look forward to hearing her share her invaluable insights to ensure the progress our region has made continues for people of color, women, and our community as a whole.”
Registration for the WI Professional Series is free to NKY Chamber members and NKYP Passport members.
Tickets are $15 for future members. Pre-registration is required online.
