Watch video of the event


​THEME: The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity

When: February 18, 2021, 9am – 12pm
This will be a 100% VIRTUAL event. When you call in, you will only be able to hear the meeting, not interact with us – we highly recommend using Zoom if possible.
We will continue to meet virtually until we are able to come together again. Ask your supervisor and/or IT Helpdesk about making sure you’re able to access Zoom. You are also free to download Zoom on your personal device.

Please share this information and encourage your colleagues and state-employed family and friends to attend and get involved! We are a formal, enterprise-wide resource group conducting official state business. Participants are not required to take leave to participate. If you experience any challenges to participating, please let us know.

​If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, or if you need an accommodation to fully participate in our meetings or events, email us at BUILD@ofm.wa.gov.
