Program –  STRE.ME – Business Startup – Jack Patton VIA Zoom.  Everyone has implicit biases that never go away and create significant human and economic costs, especially in law enforcement, healthcare, higher education, and workforce development. This is why STRE.ME equips individuals to improve interactions, decisions, and communication with others by learning how to manage their implicit biases. STRE.ME enables organizational leaders to create cultures of awareness and accountability that promote equitable outcomes.

STRE.ME is the culmination of research and real-world applications from its leaders, all of whom have unique skill sets. When combined, the leadership team and advisors complement STRE.ME’s mission to create cultures of awareness and accountability.
