DATE: Tuesday, June 26
TIME: 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm (Program begins at 6pm)
LOCATION: City of Duquesne Municipal Building
DETAILS & REGISTRATION

A diverse workforce (age, gender, race, etc.) has been shown to encourage innovation and creativity and is now sought after by employers and jobs seekers alike.

Speakers will include:

  • Melanie Harrington, Executive Director of Vibrant Pittsburgh
  • anupama jain, Executive Director, City of Pittsburgh’s Commission on Gender Equity
  • Shon K. Worner, Senior Associate, Campbell Durrant Beatty Palombo & Miller, P.C.
  • Shad Henderson, Director of Community Partnerships and Investments, Neighborhood Allies
  • Laura Poskin, the Director of Age Friendly Pittsburgh, a program of the United Way
  • Wasi Mohamed, Executive Director, Islamic Center of Pittsburgh and a steering committee member for Change Agency and the All for All Initiative
