January Breakfast w the Gaymber

Join us for an intimate fireside chat with the country’s youngest Chief Equity Officer, Laurice Walker. Don’t let her age fool you – Laurice is a powerful leader with a robust history in intersectional equity work, from gender equity to water equity and anti-racist work.  Laurice will share with us a little about her personal story as well as discuss the City of Tucson’s equity efforts and what we as business leaders can do to participate in the movement.

This month's breakfast will be held at the YWCA and sponsored by Rachel Marie Photography!
