Winter Institute

The session will feature a panel of neurodiverse individuals and advocates discussing challenges and concerns neurodiverse employees experience in the workplace and customers experience in the store.

Handwriter Ink will be providing American Sign Language interpreting services for a number of events at Wi16, sponsored in part by Biblio.com, the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, and Bookazine.

The conversation will center on a chapter of Dr. Stephanie Pinder-Amaker and Dr. Lauren Wadsworth’s book, Did That Just Happen?!: Beyond “Diversity” ― Creating Sustainable and Inclusive Organizations.

The February 19 session will cover monitoring or creating a budget, responding to changing business conditions, managing cash flow, and monitoring important benchmarking data to track progress and meet yearly goals.
