In keeping with AIChE’s recent adoption of the IDEAL Statement, this session will bring together Leaders in Industry & Academia that embody the IDEAL Principles. With a focus on the L for learning, these leaders will offer critical perspectives to address the importance of early adoption of equity, diversity and inclusion efforts so that these principles can take root and last in the professional setting. The panel will address questions such as different skills leaders need in an IDEAL world, why IDEAL is important to everyone, not just those in marginalized groups, special challenges in Academia, the benefits of Employee Resource Groups and how to support them, and sponsorship of IDEAL communities so they don’t just survive but thrive.
