Learn with a Leading Expert

Deborah Dagit is a compelling and vocal advocate for people with disabilities.

As the only Chief Diversity Officer with a visible disability, she has often found herself in the unenviable position of being the sole voice in the room to advocate for societal and workforce inclusion for people with disabilities.
