2023 Testimonials
“Prior to the course I felt that I was doing the right thing. Throughout the course I realized that much more effort was needed to support women within the workplace and building relationships and trust, as well as support was needed on my part.”
“Beyond Allies is a great opportunity for men to be open and honest about what they are seeing as well as being vulnerable to new thoughts about how they can show up to be an ally for not only women but other disenfranchised groups.”
