Virtual Chat

Click here on June 29th at 2 PM Eastern Time to join this virtual chat!

A Connect Extension account is required to participate in this virtual chat. Virtual Chats are text-based engagements. Cooperative Extension personnel can get their free Connect Extension accounts at connect.extension.org/join.

Have you, are you, or will you be working on incorporating DEI into position descriptions?

If yes, please join us in a Connect Extension chat to learn from one another.

Let’s share responses to questions such as:

Have you, are you, or will you be working on incorporating DEI into position descriptions?

What are the DEI actions and behaviors that can be evaluated during employee performance appraisal reviews?

How will you train your supervisors to understand these actions and behaviors and how to look for them?

Do your descriptions reflect DEI actions and behaviors for both internal and external work?

How would you benchmark for your organization impact of these descriptions?

How to train people to understand them?

For those of you who have not participated in a virtual chat, it is a text-based engagement in Connect Extension where you will receive questions and will be given time to respond. You will be able to see other people’s responses. When the chat is over, all participants will have access to the information Extension colleagues provided during the chat.

I'm super-interested in this conversation as it's one that's being considered in a variety of contexts here at our institution.   I can't be there at 2ET on 6/29 but would love to be able to access chat after - and of course to take part in future conversations.

Cheryl - no worries! Just go to the same link after-the-fact, and you'll see the transcript.

Automated message: Thanks for sharing this event! If you can, please remember to update this listing after your event with a link to the recording. You can do that by coming back to your event here in Connect Extension, clicking "Manage Event" and then "Edit Event." From there, I suggest adding the words "Recording Available Here" to the top of your event and linking out to the recording. Example: Recording Available Here

Thanks for helping us make this an awesome archive of resources for Cooperative Extension!

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an Extension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an Extension-hosted event?

Extension Foundation posts publicly our events to two calendars - the Extension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
