Advancing Diversity in Law Enforcement

Community Conversation 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST January 23

Dear Fielding colleagues,

In 2016, I began a series of community conversation on a variety of topics.  Some of these topics are generated by events of the days; others by colleagues who want to call the community together for dialogue and reflection.  All are welcome. Please note this meeting is limited to the first 100 participants.

Please join us on January 23^rd at 10:00 AM Pacific time/1:00 PM eastern time for a discussion on advancing diversity in law enforcement.  Dr. Ned Pettus, Fielding alumnus, is leading an initiative in creating diversity and inclusion in the police department in Columbus, Ohio.   As he presents his model, he will discuss some of the pressing obstacles to advancing diversity and successes in this work.  The presentation will last approximately 15 minutes, leaving time for questions.  While focused on law enforcement, this presentation is broadly applicable to other sectors and organizations.  The presentation will be recorded and posted.
