DEAI Committee Update - Q1 Meeting

We've re-imagined the LGBTQ+ & Allies meetings for the upcoming year — thank you to everyone who participated in the survey! Monday afternoons were overwhelmingly the top choice, so we are going to try out quarterly gatherings on Mondays at 12PM MST for 90 minutes. There will also be a few additional themed meetings in the mix (Check out our December 13 Holiday Happy Hour as an example).

For our first quarterly meeting we will have a special guest from the Tessitura DEAI Committee to give an update from their group. Then we will have a brainstorming session and discussion about how to make the Application itself more inclusive — the goal being to send the DEAI speaker back to the full group with some new ideas.

DOOR PRIZE! One lucky winner will receive a Tessitura-branded Yeti 10oz lowball tumbler that will be packaged up with a USD $10 Starbucks gift card and Tessitura stickers.

Register now for the next virtual meeting of the LGBTQ+ & Allies Tessitura Community Group!

Reminder that the Tessitura LGBTQ+ & Allies community group is a safe space to be yourself, no matter where you are in your personal path to living authentic. We are here to support each other and everyone is welcome!
