Advancing the Work of Unconscious Bias

The Boston Club is committed to advancing diversity and inclusion through the strategic priorities of its Diversity and Inclusion Committee (DIC):

*  Education and Awareness
*  Resources and Tools
*  External Partnerships

Unconscious bias is one key area of focus and is an important aspect of leadership development. DIC members collaborate with other committees to examine this important topic. In addition to programming support, the DIC provides a tool kit of resources on unconscious bias. Our goal is to inspire self-reflection, conversations and meaningful action. We believe this enriches our TBC community and our individual leadership lenses.  Stay tuned for other resources, suggested events and forums.

Before you review the resources listed below, you are invited to bring your own self into this picture. Consider the ways discussed here to better understand your personal experiences and frames of reference.
