Start Time:2:00 PM EDT

Abstract:

Post-Pandemic DEI Landscape for Community Banks: While Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion may seem to have fallen off the radar for bankers during the COVID-19 crisis, DEI is more of a business imperative for banks than ever. Join ABA’s subject matter expert, Naomi Mercer, for a recap of how diversity, equity, and inclusion played out during the crisis and how banks can refocus on DEI moving forward. Key takeaways will include how to implement DEI considerations for customers, DEI issues banks may face as their workforce returns to the physical workplace, and taking advantage of the opportunities to put DEI into practice more broadly.
