The IMAPS DEI Panel Discusses the Difference between Equality and Equity

For this episode, recorded during the IMAPS International Symposium, Françoise von Trapp hands over the mike to Robin Davis, of 3D InCites Member company, Deca.

Davis organized and moderated a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion town hall discussion during IMAPS, on the topic of Equality vs. Equity. A distinguished panel of industry veterans shared their perceptions and personal stories, including Jean Trewhella, GlobalFoundries; Susan Trulli, Raytheon; Shelby Nelson, Mosaic Microsystems; Urmi Ray, Saras Micro Devices, and KT Moore, Cadence. 

Davis provided a framework for the conversation, explaining the difference between Equal and Equity: Equality means each employee gets the same bicycle to ride, and equity means that everyone gets the bicycle that suits their needs. The panelists then also offered tips for how to overcome our own unconscious bias to create a culture of DEI at our own workplaces.
