Summary:
Participants will learn more about incorporating simple ways to make their practice inclusive, starting with gender pronouns. If participants have seen an increased use of "their" or heard language around gender that are new to them "I am a cis female" or "They identify as non-binary", this is a great session to learn more. This setting is a safe place to learn and practice language to make your employees, co-workers, and clients feel welcome..
Speakers:
Jen Jenkins, Office of Hawaiian Affairs
Jen Jenkins is a William S. Richardson School of Law graduate. Jen's lived experiences drive their advocacy efforts, and they use those experiences in addition to their legal background to engage in transforming the law so that it is inclusive of all identities. While they were in law school, they were the lead advocate on a transgender and non-binary bill (HB1165) that added a gender-neutral 'X' marker to our state IDs and driver's licenses. In their current capacity as a Public Policy Advocate at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, they were the lead advocate on an anti-discrimination employment measure that is currently awaiting the Governor's signature.
