Description
Advancing racial equity is a stated goal of many organizations. Although leaders are committed to achieving this goal, they may not have the tools to turn this ambition into reality. This program will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the barriers that organizations face in increasing diversity and racial equity, offering a range of solutions and hands-on tools for eliminating these barriers and creating more inclusive organizations.
Throughout this program, we will build an inclusive community for participants to learn together and from one another about issues of racial equity in organizations. Participants will work in small groups to solve a leadership challenge they are facing in advancing racial equity in their own organizations. As the capstone part of the program, each working group will present a plan to address their leadership challenge, while also sharing insights and lessons learned.
