Meeting Description:
In honor of Women’s History Month, join Judy Berkman from Regional Housing Legal Services as she shares her tips to address workplace bias! Judy has been active in addressing gender, racial and ethnic and other bias in the legal system and the legal profession since she became a lawyer in 1973. She had faced discrimination in her job search in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with one firm telling her they would have to hold a policy committee meeting to decide whether or not to accept her application, since they had never hired a woman or a Jew before. In 1991, she became interested in establishing a statewide task force on gender fairness in the courts in Pennsylvania, after reading the newly released Massachusetts report on gender bias in the courts. She became energized to be a catalyst to have Pennsylvania issue a similar report, and then became an improbable leader in the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Bar Associations to establish task forces and create policies to combat gender, race/ethnic and other bias against protected classes of persons, sometimes wearing her “lone wolf howling at the moon” pin for moral support when facing a meeting full of “bias deniers.”
“Addressing Workplace Bias” will focus on a variety of tips, verbal and non-verbal, on how to handle instances of inappropriate conduct in the workplace. We expect to have a lively discussion of several scenarios on how to address biased behavior.
