Shenango Valley Urban League to Host Event Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

FARRELL (April 10, 2023) – The Shenango Valley Urban League (Farrell, PA) hopes to open a much-needed conversation with business owners and potential employees about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The event, called the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Breakfast and Career Fair will take place on April 21st, at Avalon at Buhl Park in Hermitage. Breakfast will begin at 7:30 AM, with the career fair will begin at 10:30 AM.

According to the Urban League, this event came from wanting to do something different, other than their usual anniversary banquet.

According to Urban League President and CEO, Dr. Erin Houston, “This is an important conversation to have in our home and workplaces. This is an event you don’t want to miss.”

For their keynote speaker, the Urban League has invited Celeste Warren, vice president of Merck’s Global Diversity and Inclusion Center of Excellence, to speak at the breakfast.

Houston will also moderate a panel about diversity, equity, and inclusion, with various distinguished voices in the field at the breakfast.

“They’re going to talk about how to become a diversity ambassador yourself, how you exhibit acceptance of people who are different than yourself, and what ways can you be inclusive and a safe space to have that conversation,” she said.
