“Engineering Change” Speaker Series: A Conversation with Timothy Overton

Please join us for our inaugural Engineering Change speaker series - a virtual informal conversation with someone inspiring who has experienced and overcome inequality, or with an expert who has interesting ideas for how we can engineer change in our communities.

Our first conversation will take place on Thursday, April 22 with Timothy Overton, a lawyer, professor and expert on unconscious bias. Tim will talk about how everyone has some kind unconscious bias and more importantly, what all of us can do to overcome it. We here at the Engine have listened to Tim speak and tell his deeply personal story and think it’ll be an eye-opening and inspiring experience.
