This Roundtable aims to cultivate an environment where professionals of color can forge significant relationships, engage in discussions pertinent to our experiences in both business and non-profit sectors, and enhance the visibility of multicultural individuals in Tompkins County. Our Roundtables serve as peer affinity groups, providing a confidential setting for sharing insights, seeking advice, and obtaining mentorship.
Join us at Asempe Kitchen. Refreshments will be available!
This roundtable is specifically designed for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian individuals. While we encourage support and promotion from allies, participation is reserved for those who share this identity.
Thank you to the Community Foundation of Tompkins County for supporting our Unity in Shades Roundtable; and to our Series Sponsors; BorgWarner, M&T Bank, and Rasa Spa.
