Fireside Chat: Shared Sisterhood with Dr. Tina Opie (moderated by Prof. Ed Bertschinger)
 

“From recruiting, onboarding, socialization, evaluation, training, pay, promotion, all the way around to workforce planning and retirement. Now that we've linked arms, we can look at these systems and work toward change together."
– Dr. Tina Opie
