JONESBORO, AR – The third-annual Northeast Arkansas Diversity Conference will be held on Friday, June 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Centennial Hall of the Reng Student Union on the A-State campus.

St. Bernards Healthcare; the Arkansas State University Division of Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement; and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine at A-State are collaborating to lead the event, which aims to help businesses and organizations develop and create more inclusive workplaces.
