As the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, local non-profit creates a solution for students and professional to get their foot in the door. The Western Regional Diversity Conference 2017, appropriately nicknamed The Diversity Conference or WRDC is a 2-day conference that highlights workplace diversity and inclusion. With expectations of over 500 attendees, WRDC has constructed an impressive agenda that includes an experiential case study competition, business pitch competition, over 30 panels and workshops, networking parties, and a tech exhibit and career fair utilizing Bluetooth Beacons for a more interactive experience.

Through October 26th-27th, WRDC has invited college students and professionals throughout California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon & Colorado to attend this event.

“I wanted to build an event that attendees can walk away from and become inspired and motivated,” says project director Elizabeth Cotton. “People’s’ differences can be seen as an advantage, whether they are climbing corporate America or striving to be an entrepreneur.”

This year WRDC will focus on three tracks that include Diversity in Tech, Entertainment, and Entrepreneurship. WRDC has secured over 50 inspirational guest speakers including John Cabeca, the Director of the US Patent & Trademark Office for Silicon Valley, Ashok Kamal, the Executive Director for Tech Coast Angels, Jace Hall, the Co-Owner of E-Sports Powerhouse Team Echo Fox, and Frankie Ingrassia, Actress and Pit Producer for Coachella, just to name a few!

HAIR’itage the Play uniquely shares the evolution of the Black Woman’s hair. Six “sistahs” share how their hair has defined them, their love lives, self-image, and careers. Funny, deep, inspiring, and sometimes sexy, Hair’itage opens a deeper conversation around Black femininity, social perceptions, and how hair impacts the lives of Black women. Playgoers leave in awe – empowered, some even share tears of joy, as they can relate to the storyline from a personal perspective. Hair’itage is a journey that Women and Men, from all walks of life, socio-economic backgrounds, and cultural backgrounds will enjoy.

Building alternative neighborhood-based food systems require a social commitment to racial equity and a fearless commitment to social justice. The intent of the PNV Food Justice Legacy Lecture Series is to convene opportunities for shared experiences and provide intellectual inspiration to communities most impacted by inequitable practices.

Dr. Maulana Karenga, an accomplished activist scholar, the creator of Kwanzaa, an African America cultural holiday, and published author, will deliver the keynote address on Racism as a Root Cause for Inequities within the US Food System and Society as a Whole.

Following the lecture, there will be a response panel and conversation with the audience. Confirmed panelists at this time, Lianne Urada, PhD, MSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, San Diego State University School of Social Work & University of California San Diego, Center on Gender Equity and Health, Division of Infectious Diseases & Global Public Health, Department of Medicine; and Jessie Mills PhD, Chair and Associate Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of San Diego. The program also includes dinner at 5:30pm and cultural performances.
