SUMMARY:National Member Webinar: Bisexual Inclusion at Work
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 14\, 2022\, from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners. \nThe B in 2SLGBTQIA+ is the largest part of the community\, yet bisexuals in Canada earn almost half on average of their straight\, gay\, or lesbian coworkers. Emerging research shows that bisexual people experience significant disparities with regard to employment\, income\, mental health\, and interpersonal violence compared to both their heterosexual and gay/lesbian counterparts. Yet\, it is extremely rare for workplace or employment programs to focus on bisexual communities. \nThis webinar will explore the often invisibilized realities of bisexual lives\, issues\, and experiences\, with a focus on the workplace. Longtime bisexual advocate Cheryl Dobinson will share ways to take action to challenge biphobia\, create positive work environments\, and include bisexual employees and jobseekers in meaningful ways. \nLearning objectives: \n\nUnderstand current economic and social inequities experienced by bisexual communities\nRecognize the unique challenges and experiences of bisexuals at work\nWays to act in allyship with bisexual employees and job seekers\n\nAudience: \n\nAll employees\nEmployee Resource Group Members\nDiversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Professionals\n\nPresenter:\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″] [/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″] Cheryl Dobinson (she/her)\, bisexual researcher and community activist \nCheryl Dobinson has been involved in local (Toronto) and North American bisexual communities for over 20 years. During this time she has delivered numerous trainings on bisexuality\, offered community-based courses and workshops\, and founded the bi groups Fluid and The B Side. From 2002 to 2010 she published a bi women’s zine called “The Fence” which was distributed internationally.

In 2013 she was honoured to be invited to the first ever bisexual community roundtable at the White House\, as one of 31 bi activists\, and the only Canadian\, and she has since attended larger policy and community events at the White House in 2015 and 2016. Cheryl came out as a lesbian when she was 21 and living in Calgary\, Alberta\, and then as bi in her mid-20s in Toronto. \nShe has identified as bi for over 25 years now. Her day job is in the extremely bi-positive organization\, Planned Parenthood Toronto\, where she is an out bi leader and role model. Cheryl is very passionate about bisexuality and making things better for bi people in all areas of their lives.\n[/vc_column][/vc_row] \nRegistration for this event has closed.\nThis event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners.
