Dear Ally,
It starts with the Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices: Information Couples Want Vendors To Know.
Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices is a ten step educational subscription based program to help wedding and event allies elevate their inclusive awareness and their business practices.
In 2015 same-sex marriage became the law of the land and the wedding industry was forever changed.
I did not expect to be confronted with bigotry when planning my own wedding.
Since 2015 I have advocated for inclusiveness training and education in the wedding and event industry. In 2021, I was awarded "Speaker of the Year" by my local NACE chapter for my presentation Being More Inclusive In Your Business. It's with that same passion and love I present, Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices: Information Couples Want Vendors To Know.
Understanding inclusiveness is an endless loop. I take ten subjects, break them down into steps, and give you key takeaways you can implement immediately to allow your business to elevate LGBTQIA+ couples. Some will argue I should have added more, and they’re right! Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices is a digital document that can be updated throughout your annual subscription.
$79.95 annually.
To begin your subscription to the Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices you'll be asked to create an account to gain full access to the digital e-book. That same account is where you will go each time to view the digital e-book. You can also use the link below to access your account any time.
