1. Collaboration at the General Catalyst People Leaders Luncheon:
In partnership with General Catalyst, we co-hosted an exclusive luncheon at the exquisite Jardin at the Wynn Las Vegas. This gathering was a vibrant networking hub for People Leaders from over 40 top corporations, fostering lively discussions and sparking new connections. The Disclo-branded hats were a hit, and the outdoor setting provided a refreshing break, complemented by nearly perfect weather.
2. Insightful Panel on Mental Health Led by Disclo's Leadership:
Our CEO and Co-Founder, Hannah Olson, steered a compelling panel discussion titled "Mental Health: Legal or Social Responsibility?" Joined by notable figures like EEOC commissioner Keith Sonderling, General Catalyst Investor Holly Maloney, and Samsung Diversity Leader Antonia Wong, the conversation delved into the critical issue of mental health within the context of ADA accommodations. This session illuminated the complexities and urgencies of addressing mental health in today's workplace.
