The workplace is continuously changing; an overall goal and theme of the conference is “What You Permit, You Promote”.
We all like comfort zones and tend to guide our organizations by doing “business as usual”. However, that which is comfortable can often stagnate and hinder departmental growth. Success mandates that we cannot keep doing things the same way and expect a different result; we all know this is defined as “insanity”.
As part of this conference, we will explore ways to breakdown both organizational and personal barriers that relate to diversity and inclusion so we can fully identify obstacles to organizational success.

This conference provided some of the most thought provoking material, personally challenging conversations and useful tools to return home with that I have ever been a part of. The opportunity to sit down with emergency services and private industry representatives from all walks of a life, have sometimes contentious conversations, about some of the hardest topics, was invaluable. All with respect and dignity for each other and sharing a great meal together each day. I look forward to next year and the work being done around the country between now and then as a result of the relationships built at the 2021 CMDEIC.
