Thu., Mar. 27, 2025, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.

In a time of growing social, political, and cultural divisions, effective communication across differences is more crucial than ever. This event will feature the Chief of Communications for the City of Boston, who will share insights and strategies for fostering understanding and connection in diverse communities. The conversation will focus on strategies for distilling complex messages into clear, concise language without losing meaning or alienating audiences. We will explore the role identity factors—such as race, gender, and culture—play in shaping communication and ensuring that all voices are included.
