Event Description
Title
Leading and Operationalizing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Nonprofits
Presenter
Rekah Strong, Executive Director, Education Opportunities for Children and Families
Moving to a more diverse, equitable and inclusive organization is definitely not a quick, overnight task — it is a slow process that takes time and concentrated efforts with long term and holistic impact that seeks to remedy longstanding systemic barriers. But, for those of us who serve in a role related to operationalizing these concepts and are ready to move these DEI initiatives forward, we sometimes get tripped up on where and how to make it happen. During this advanced session, Rekah will discuss key questions you need to be asking yourself: Where do we start? What does implementation look like across all areas of an organization? How can we best avoid common pitfalls? This promises to be an engaging session with much to share on how to make it happen!
Audience
Nonprofit Executives, Board Members, HR and Operations Directors and those on their way to joining them in operationalizing concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion in their organizations.
