Last Week at Rotary: DEI Committee and Mai Chao Duddeck
What a pleasure to hear from Mai Chao and what an resource we have in our community for our DEI Committee. At the heart of Mai Chao’s research interest is creating culturally engaging environments that welcome inclusion and belonging. She is passionate about working collectively with leaders across communities to close the health disparities gap while fostering belonging for all.
A few Rotarian reviews:
Thank you Mai Chao for a great presentation and keep up the great work.
Mai is a treasure to our community and a great resource for DEI strategies.
