BMC Dialogue Series: Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate's BMC Dialogue Series, formerly known as the Women in Real Estate Conference, attracts more than 200 real estate professionals (women and men) and highlights important topics facing women in real estate. This year's program will address unconscious biases, how they shape the workplace, and what we can do about it. The program will open with Jerrilyn Malana, chief deputy for employment and special advisor at the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, who will set the stage for the unconscious bias phenomenon by using interactive examples. Malana will be followed by G. Joyce Rowland, senior vice president and chief human resources and administrative officer for Sempra Energy, who will discuss her journey with Sempra and how the company is making great strides in the areas of unconscious basis and diversity. Malana and Rowland will then participate in a panel discussion with Tim Durie, senior vice president of organizational development for Newland Real Estate Group, and Jennifer Litwak, executive director of Housing on Merit, which will dive deep into the topic. Stath Karras, executive director of the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate, will moderate the panel discussion. Info: 619-260-2379.
