Description
*Registration will close at 8am on Tuesday, July 12th but walk-in's will be accepted at the door.* Promoting a just society by challenging injustice and valuing diversity is how most would define social justice. As people we all have humanity in common and we therefore want equitable treatment of each other, support for human rights, and a fair allocation of community resources. In conditions of social justice, people are not be discriminated against, nor their welfare and well-being constrained or prejudiced on the basis of gender, sexuality, religion, political affiliations, age, race, belief, disability, location, social class, socioeconomic circumstances, or other characteristic of background or group membership. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Our July Network @ Noon will host well-known local leader and powerful speaker Rev. Dwight Ford. Rev. Ford will challenge our thinking and open our minds to issues of social inequality and social justice affecting our community.
During the lunch hour, join YPQC to enhance your personal and professional development skills. With a new speaker and topic each month, you'll brush up on your skills each time while learning more about the local opportunities available to young professionals. Network, grab a bite to eat, and pick up some new insight at our monthly Network @ Noon, typically held the second Tuesday of each month. Make sure to arrive early for check-in which will begin at 11:45am.
Please be aware that a $5.00 late fee will be charged to all reservations made after the date of July 8th, 2016.
