Interrupting Bias – Is It a Choice or a Need?

Many companies and organizations spend extensive time, money, and emotional resources on bias and cultural competency training each year. The goal is to create inclusive and effective workplaces where innovation and success are valued, but people are also valued for all that they bring to the workplace. But what happens after the training? This interactive workshop will examine practical steps and practices to interrupt bias and to create that inclusive workspace.

Our Speaker:

Sarah Klaper joined Northern Illinois University as ombudsperson in August 2012. She earned her bachelor of science in communication from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and she earned her juris doctorate from the University of Cincinnati College Of Law. Ms. Klaper started her career in a general civil law practice at Southeastern Ohio Legal Services in Portsmouth, Ohio. She then went into a solo family law practice and followed up by returning to her public interest roots as a community lawyer at the Citizen Advocacy Center in Elmhurst, Illinois.  Immediately prior to coming to NIU, Ms. Klaper was a legal analysis, research and communication instructor at DePaul University College of Law. She also taught Education Law and State and Local Government.  The focus of Ms. Klaper’s entire career has been both to “ennoble dignity,” and to help others use their voices effectively for themselves and for others.
