R.I.S.E.
racial and intersectional equity (r.i.s.e.) in the workspace
R.I.S.E. brings to fruition nearly 20 years of experience in creating radical change in communities and workspaces in areas of diversity, race and equity. In this workshop, Converge presents its proprietary R.IS.E. framework and demonstrates how it is vastly superior to the hollow DEI promises of the past. By intentionally redesigning work culture around an intersectional analysis of systemic oppression and racism, organizations can greatly benefit from more robust internal infrastructures in which ALL employees can thrive and grow.

Ethical Procurement
Consistent with its commitment to advancing racial equity, Converge seeks to spend its money with businesses that are led by people of color, pay livable wages, and align with our values and purpose.
Consistent with our commitment to advancing racial equity, Converge seeks to ensure that we contract with vendors and service providers based on ethical procurement criteria. We seek out vendors as partners that are e.g. led by people of color, pay livable wages, and align with our core values and purpose. Whenever possible, Converge purchases materials and services that are sourced locally from local, minority-owned businesses. This includes office supplies, memberships, technical solutions, and various other products utilized within our business.
Converge is a proud member of the New Orleans Regional Black Chamber of Commerce.
