Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Resources
The Southwest Florida chapter strives to provide the most up-to-date resources to help our members and future members become the best possible communicators. These resources, pulled from a variety of public relations and communications sources, are available to help our members educate themselves on building a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in their organizations and in our chapter.
