ASUG Women Con­nect exists to help women in SAP tech­nol­o­gy visu­al­ize and inspire success.

This web­cast is brought to you as part of the ASUG Women Con­nect program. 

Feb­ru­ary is Black His­to­ry Month, and as we take this time to remem­ber how far we’ve come, we also want to con­tin­ue mov­ing for­ward and cel­e­brate the sto­ries of today. Acts of inclu­sion and equi­ty will make a difference. 

In 2020, SAP announced the launch of its inclu­sive lan­guage ini­tia­tive, which seeks to elim­i­nate uncon­scious bias in the soft­ware indus­try by updat­ing cer­tain ter­mi­nol­o­gy to be more thoughtful. 

Join this web­cast to hear an overview of how this ini­tia­tive fits into SAP’s cohe­sive diver­si­ty and inclu­sion strat­e­gy and how being con­scious of our word choice matters. 

This ses­sion will be mod­er­at­ed by Kelsey Gould, ASUG enter­prise con­tent coor­di­na­tor, and will cover:

• SAP’s inclu­sive lan­guage ini­tia­tive and why it matters
• Mak­ing a busi­ness case for DEI
• The process of imple­ment­ing a DEI ini­tia­tive in a mul­ti-lev­el, glob­al organization

This pre­sen­ta­tion will be fol­lowed by an ASUG Think Tank on Fri­day, Feb. 26 at 12 p.m. ET/11 a.m. CT, where we will be joined by ASUG’s DEI Exec­u­tive Liai­son Mireillee Lam­ourt and our speak­ers to fur­ther dis­cuss why word choice mat­ters to ASUG and its mem­bers. Please bring your thoughts, ques­tions, and expe­ri­ences to the conversation.
