December 18th NASHRM Event – Moving From Diversity to Inclusion
Many workplaces talk about “diversity,” but true inclusion is where the real transformation happens — especially when it comes to people with disabilities. Join us for an unforgettable session with Michael Hingson, blind since birth, 9/11 World Trade Center survivor, bestselling author of Thunder Dog, and one of the nation’s leading voices in accessible design and inclusion.
Through powerful storytelling, humor, and real-world examples, Michael will challenge us to rethink what inclusion really means and how simple shifts can open doors for everyone.
Date: December 18, 2025
Time: 11:45 am - 1:00 pm
Location: Zoom
Registration: Open to NASHRM members – email bowenw@doyon.com to reserve your spot.
You’ll walk away with:
• Why disability does NOT equal inability
• How inclusion strengthens workplaces, teams, and culture
• What organizations gain when they hire individuals with disabilities
• Myths vs. facts around cost, risk, and accommodations
• Practical steps to build a truly inclusive environment
This session supports SHRM BASK competencies in Inclusion & Diversity, Relationship Management, Talent Acquisition, and Employee Engagement.
