The Bridges Group has always been about bringing Members together to learn more about the differences and similarities between people.

An inclusive society is a festival – the FESTIVAL OF NATIONS! The Festival of Nations is a deliberate step towards building an inclusive society where all can grow to their fullest potential. A chance to wine and dine, a musical spectacle, a story told, a showcase of the thriving entrepreneurial spirit of this diverse community. An opportunity to engage in cultures other than one’s own, and to enrich each person’s worldview in a meaningful way.

Please bring yourself and/or your family and join the Diversity & Inclusion Bridges Group for an afternoon of International music, crafts, food and experiences at the  Largest International Festival of Nations on Saturday, August 27th.

This event is free, but we ask that you register yourself and your family ahead of time so we know who to expect. 

Meet Up Time:  11:00 am - ??

Date:  Saturday, August 27th

Location:  The Music Stand

Come and enjoy the music and culture alongside your In-House Colleagues and families!

In today’s politically charged environment, companies are facing pressure from customers, employees, interest groups and other stakeholders to take positions on social, political and electoral issues at the risk of becoming targets of political retaliation — e.g., Disney and the “Don’t Say Gay” law; Delta Air Lines and Georgia’s voting restrictions and now, numerous companies and their response to the Dobbs decision.

Several legal issues are implicated, including corporate free speech, corporate political giving, associational and industry coordination, corporate lobbying, ESG/crisis management, employee speech/mobilization and electoral politics.

In a roundtable-style discussion, we will discuss these issues and best practices for dealing with competing interests.
