This year we are pleased to welcome local LGBTQ+ advocate, former local board member, and co-chair of our Engagement Committee, Sandy Eichel as our main speaker. Sandy Eichel is a Wealth Management Advisor, international speaker and a diversity and inclusion consultant. Sandy speaks at corporate functions, professional conferences and diversity summits across North America and Europe. Sandy is passionate about transforming the corporate cultures to be more inclusive of women, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. Several magazines and newspapers, including a November 2017 edition of the Wall Street Journal and Forbes in April of 2019, have published feature articles about Sandy and their work. Sandy was on the board of OPEN for six and a half years and is excited about helping to create more inclusion and to break down silos in the Madison LGBTQ+ community. Sandy devotes additional time to raising money for various charities, which lead them to create a non profit initiative to benefit underprivileged elementary students here in Madison.

Sandy will share a part of their journey of finding their own authenticity and inspire listeners to dig deeper in their own, while developing skills to be more inclusive of others in our community. With humor and enthusiasm, Sandy breaks down simple ways that we can all be better allies to each other and build a stronger, more inclusive Madison.

We will also be honoring the 2019 and 2020 OPEN Community Grant Recipients and OPEN Community Advocate Award Winner.
