Course Description

Conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion have skyrocketed in the last two years. These are important conversations to have, but, if you don't fully understand the language, it is challenging to have a meaningful discussion. In this first DEI training session, presenter Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk, Cornell-certified diversity and inclusion presenter and marketing strategist, will share terms, their definitions, and examples from real-life scenarios. 

This won't be a textbook definitions session—this will be an interactive discussion, so participation is encouraged. No matter where you are on your DEI journey, all are invited to listen, ask questions, and offer their insights and share their experiences.

Learning Objectives:


  • Discuss terms related to diversity, equity, and inclusion

  • Define these terms

  • Give examples of real-life context

Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk (like “rustic” without the “t”) is the founder of BBR Companies LLC, where she provides CMO-level services for professional services firms, co-owner of Rally Rounds, where she facilitates mastermind groups for accounting growth professionals, and owner of the Accounting MOVE Project, where she provides the most comprehensive data and guidance on finding, retaining, developing and advancing women and people of color in the accounting profession. What do all these roles have in common? She is committed to helping firms uncover and communicate their unique differentiators, find the support they need to grow, and create equitable and inclusive cultures where everyone can thrive.

Never one to rest on her laurels, she earned a Diversity & Inclusion Certificate from Cornell University and is taking additional coursework to expand her knowledge. This is in addition to the MBA with a marketing concentration she earned at Georgia State University and a Bachelor of Arts in journalism, public relations, and French from Troy (State) University in Alabama.

Bonnie quite literally wrote the book on online marketing for accounting firms, Take Your Marketing Online: Proven Ways to Grow Your Firm in the Digital Age, at the request of the AICPA. She also contributed a chapter to Bridging the Gap: Strengthening the Connection Between Current and Emerging Leaders and is a regular contributor and quote source for industry-related publications and websites. She has been recognized as one of Accounting Today’s Top 100 Most Influential People three times, Volunteer of the Year by the Association for Accounting Marketing, and one of CPA Practice Advisor’s Most Powerful Women in Accounting.
