Scheduled panelists include:
• Dr. Rhonda Talford Knight, chief diversity officer for Bricker & Eckler, Attorneys at Law, is highly experienced in developing strategic initiatives, implementing aggressive action plans and measuring outcomes in areas of diversity, equity and inclusion.

“Discussions around talent are not going away any time soon especially with labor shortages continuing to present challenges to businesses around the country,” said Ashleigh DuBois, Director of DEI for the NKY Chamber. “Data shows that our region is becoming more diverse, and we want the NKY Metro talent pool to reflect that. We want to keep this conversation going and share strategies people and businesses can use to recruit new talent, retain the talent they’ve employed and build up the talent they have.”
Tickets are $20 for NKY Chamber members, $35 for future NKY Chamber members and the NKYP rate is $15. Capacity for this event will be limited to 70 people. To register, visit www.nkychamber.com.
