The CAREER Forum

This is going to be Fun! Free!

THE DETAILS:


On Thursday, Oct. 1, at 6pm, THE CiTY FORUM is partnering with the Missouri History Museum to present:


"The CAREER Forum"


- A FREE, 100-min. town hall forum about counteracting "-isms" (subtle/overt demographic differences) in our work environments (i.e. Age-ism, sexism, discrimination based on sexuality, racism, and other "-isms"). In a talk-show-like format, we will discuss several scenarios in which demographic differences can cause career difficulties. The audience and a small panel of experts will then collectively decide the appropriate response. This forum will be preceded by a brief networking session.


Networking (with complimentary light refreshments and snacks): 6-6:45pm
Town Hall Forum (with 3 expert panelists and 2 host-moderators): 6:45-8:35pm

moderated by:
Sonji Young, Civic Engagement Director - The Engagency Group, LLC, and

Featured Panelists:
Dr. David Kaplan (SLU Cook Business School - Diversity),
Mr. Reggie Farrar (HR Manager - Express Scripts), &
Dr. Traice Webb-Bradley (Psychologist - SIUE)

This Forum will be held in the MacDermott Grand Hall at the Missouri History Museum
at the intersection of Lindell & DeBaliviere in Forest Park, St. Louis, Mo.
