SWE-San Diego and Solar Women Engineers invite you to attend the first Wine & Webinar of 2019!

Health Effects of Subconscious Bias: 
Mind, Body, & Community Well-being

Community and connection are more important for our health than we recognize, and yet our evolutionary brains are wired to fear “the other.” When we let our subconscious minds undermine our behaviors towards members of our community, we all suffer health and productivity consequences. Becoming aware of our own biases is the first step in taking action towards more inclusive, healthier environments for everyone.

When:
Thursday, Feb 28, 2019
5:30pm-7:30pm
Webinar viewing will begin at 6:00pm

Note: We will be conducting a SWE-SD Section Business Meeting before we begin the webinar to vote on SWE-SD Proposed Bylaws changes. Voting is for SWE members only.
