Here's an example from last year

Gigamon colleagues chose a range of IWD web meeting backgrounds to support their IWD activity last year as they worked to help #BreakTheBias.

"The theme #BreakTheBias holds special importance to advocates and allies of women in professional spaces. Growing up surrounded by women who were successful in spite of the systemic biases has emboldened my resolve to remove those barriers for others. It’s not enough to shed our individual assumptions and unpack our own unconscious biases. Men must work with other men to help them see where their biases are driving behaviors and decisions that impact women. Breaking bias happens when we hold both ourselves and others accountable while creating a path forward for personal and societal growth," said Gigamon DEI and L&OD Director, Nathan Odell.
