Addressing bias in data involves transforming how we approach current practices for collecting, analyzing, sharing, and making decisions with data. Sarah Herrera shares concepts of belonging and empowerment to explore ways to create small wins to drive momentum in your organization's diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion (DEAI) work.

Tessitura's DEAI learning series aims to elevate ambitious ideas and effective initiatives. We hope to inspire you to advance diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion in your own institutions and in the arts and culture sector. 

This series of virtual events is co-curated by the Community subcommittee of Tessitura's internal DEAI Committee, along with the Community DEAI Advisory Committee, comprised of 12 global members employed by an organization using Tessitura.
