Talking Together with Nonprofit Leaders: Creating an Equity Statement

Talking Together with Nonprofit Leaders: Creating an Equity Statement for your Organization
In light of what is happening in the world, many organizations are talking more about diversity, equity and inclusion. Organizations that are not working to be equitable will soon be left behind. For those of us in the nonprofit sector, we have a duty to focus on equity, inclusion and justice; if we are to fulfill our collective duty of improving communities, we must be leaders in creating justice within our organizations then communities.
This session will provide an overview of the foundational pieces required for an equity message from a nonprofit Board of Directors. Participants will learn what an equity message should include and why it is important. Additionally, participants will understand what steps should be taken in conjunction with an equity message.
