SUMMARY:Career webinar: Defeating Unconscious Bias - 5 Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Let’s face it\, everybody has some unconscious bias. This is not in the context of talking about a preference for Mexican food or an inclination toward the color blue.

Registration is required. Go to events@franklintwp.org to reserve your spot.
