2022 Inclusion Calendar 

According to a Harvard University study, diversity initiatives don’t work unless awareness and inclusion is a daily practice. Awareness of ethnic holidays is key for respectful scheduling and inclusion of your staff and your members. We've assembled some multicultural dates below to help. Big thanks to our colleagues at FSAE for sharing.
