Join us for our second annual "by the book" panel event as we discuss unconscious bias and how it affects all of us in the workplace. We will explore the concept, and discuss the following books:

• Hidden Bias: How Unconscious Attitudes on Diversity Undermine Organizations and What to Do About It by Gerald Holder

Anne White, vice president of portfolio management at Eli Lilly and Company

Jessica Betts, clinical chemistry support leader at Roche will moderate the event.
