Episode 77: Inclusion During Seclusion With Lisa Koenecke

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength."—Maya Angelou

Are you as tired of watching the news as I am?  Then....we've got something completely different to approach on this episode of Laughbox!

On this episode, I get to talk to my good friend, Lisa Koenecke...."The Inclusion Ally!"  Within our association, we do a really good job of bringing everyone into the fold but, as you know, we are a bit different as a group.  Most organizations are still playing by the playbook they were given in the 80's and Lisa's mission is to change that with humor and education.

I had a great time talking with Lisa and I know you'll like her too!

ENJOY!
