Inclusion Training Highlight: Seattle Convention Center Staff 

One of the standout moments of our inclusion training journey was a session led by River at the Seattle Convention Center. This session, aimed at the convention center staff, ended up with over 350 attendees, far surpassing initial expectations. The overwhelming turnout is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of inclusion in the workplace and the impactful nature of River’s training. Participants left the session inspired, equipped with new perspectives, and ready to foster an inclusive workplace (and community!) 

“The information was digestible, applicable, and River provided a safe and enjoyable environment for guests to ask questions,” raves Allison Scott with WTC Seattle, another local business that found immense value in GSBA’s Inclusion Training series.
