This starts with people—emerging leaders\, senior leaders\, board members\, and more—growing individually and in their respective roles. However\, it can be difficult to know where to start in advancing equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI). Simply mandating or promoting EDI in the workplace is not enough. To realize the benefits\, organizations must treat EDI as any other critical resource and commit to building the right infrastructure to support it. \nAdvancing EDI internally requires more than just the knowledge and will to act. Staff must also understand the multiple ways in which bias unconsciously manifests in our daily lives and working relationships. Building on brain function research and behavioral science\, participants will learn about the bias traps we fall into\, what causes them\, and what can work to reduce and/or eliminate them. \nWhat You’ll Take Away\n\nThe foundations of implicit bias in brain function and culture\nCommon ways that implicit bias is present in the workplace\nSelf-reflection on potential biases and strategies to begin reducing them\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nOrganization staff\nPublic policy staff\nCommunity advocates\n\n \n\n \n Register \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenters\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jerica Broeckling\n \n Engagement Partner \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jerica Broeckling\n Engagement Partner \n \n Jerica Broeckling is a social sector leader with 15 years’ experience working in community development and capacity-building for nonprofits.
