I like to put inclusion before diversity. Inclusiveness is not just about the skin color you have or the religion you have. It's about the ideas and thoughts that you bring into our table to challenge us. @SherrifK Click To Tweet I would say my one tip to event planners is Evolve, you need to evolve as your world, organization and your society around you is evolving. @ClaireConnects Click To Tweet
