year Hack for Inclusion will take place virtually Friday, February 19 - Sunday, February 21. Spend a weekend meeting and collaborating with other individuals passionate about issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Participants will be placed on
a team and guided through the design thinking process to develop a solution to one of twelve pressing challenges, related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Challenge topics include making virtual work inclusive and accessible, activating middle management
for DEI in a globally-dispersed company, closing the data gaps on unbanked populations, and more. Winning teams will receive prize money! 1st place: $5,000; 2nd place: $3,000; 3rd place: $1,000; Crowd Choice: $1,000.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
