Please join 131 & Counting and the Diversity in Government Relations Coalition (DGR) to discuss the DGR inaugural report aimed at capturing demographic data about those working to shape policy at the national and local levels and providing insight into their experiences in the government affairs industry to help spur change. Not surprisingly, the survey found that "women, people of color, and people with disabilities were commonly having worse experiences of working within the government relations field than their peers who are men, white, or nondisabled."

The discussion aims to not only unveil these sobering statistics but to dissect their implications and, most importantly, illuminate the path forward.

Key topics include:

  • Unpacking the report's findings and understanding their significance
  • Empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to navigate and thrive in the government relations industry
  • Providing hiring decision-makers with insights to foster inclusive workplaces on Capitol Hill and "K Street"
  • Charting a course toward a future where diversity is not only celebrated but embedded in the fabric of our profession

Join us as we delve into the report findings and engage in a candid discussion that will serve as a catalyst for transformative action. Afterward, we'll enjoy an evening of cocktails, networking and conversation with friends and colleagues.
