The webinar is 3:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 11, via Zoom. It’s open to all Chamber members and would be especially helpful for those working in a DEI capacity.

Pope will discuss the importance of housing equality, the consequences of housing discrimination and how workplace inclusion can contribute to promoting equal opportunity in housing. She will also provide an overview of the current landscape of housing disparities, including the challenges faced by marginalized groups while highlighting strategies and best practices to address these issues and create more equitable housing opportunities. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Pope earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a master's in religious education from Oklahoma City University. She has worked as a special education teacher in the historic town of Guthrie and served as the director of disability services at Southern Nazarene University. Pope is active in her community volunteering, serving, collaborating and speaking about the vital importance of DEI, faith and the need to build and foster community.
