Operationalizing Equity: Beyond Talk 

At the end of the day, operationalizing equity takes more than meetings, trainings, and workshops. It requires actual change.

How do organizations and their leaders take concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion and make them real? Where do they start? Who does what when? What does "change" actually look like? We will identify practical ways to begin advancing equity on the people side of your organization, including your Boards, staff, and volunteers. Come prepared to discuss what your organization has done or is doing to advance equity in these areas, what has and has not worked, and lessons learned so far.

Important Note: This is not a training about equity, per se, but a work session for organizations ready to make practical, concrete changes to operationalize equity. Also, this workshop is for leaders (staff and volunteer) who are able to operationalize equity in their organization.
