The Sanford-based nonprofit, Let’s Do It Together, will produce a full day of DEI discussions and presentations as part of its mission to implement methods of equity and diversity for all in the community.

Local nonprofit group Let’s Do It Together Foundation will hold its second annual D.E.I. Conference on March 20 at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic & Conference Center in Sanford. The event is a major annual program for the organization. 

Attendees will take in a series of presentations, panels and discussions “designed to better incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, employment and social settings” according to event organizers. This year’s theme is Building Connections That Create Belonging.

On-site registration begins at 8 a.m., and the conference starts at 8:30 and runs until 3:30 p.m. The conference will include a range of subject matter experts from the corporate world, social justice professions, government and academia. Keynote speaker will be Curtis Hill, who’ll speak on Creating a Culture of Belonging.

“Our first annual DEI conference had well over 100 attendees,” said Jeanette Peace, the organization’s community coordinator and advocate. “Human resource professionals, business owners and operators, non-profit organizations, government agencies, employees and entrepreneurs were are well represented, and the dialogue among our participants was outstanding. With the exceptional lineup of presenters this year, I have no doubt that we will experience a similar result.”
