Session \n \n Session Dates: Nov. 1\, 8\, and 15 from Noon-4 p.m. ET \nUnderstanding how to build an inclusive and equitable culture is the task of every leader within an organization and is essential in building a perfect union. With the backdrop of voices pushing against a ‘woke’ culture and an ever-increasing need to raise the banner for justice on every front\, advancing organizational equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) is more critical than ever. The need for leaders across sectors\, especially the social sector\, to understand and engage the current environment is essential in creating an equitable society for all. \nThis journey begins by ensuring all people feel valued at work. It mandates the co-creation of an inclusive workforce that can foster a healthy\, productive\, and peaceful society where all people can reach their full potential. The journey continues by establishing a culture that supports equity for long-term\, sustainable change by challenging the inequitable systems which marginalize\, disconnect\, and dismiss individuals from access and full participation in economic mobility and prosperity. \nDuring this three-part virtual workshop presented by Social Current\, participants will explore their relationships with EDI in a safe environment and make progress on developing an EDI action plan for their organizations. \nBecause advancing EDI requires more than just basic knowledge and the will to improve\, presenters will help participants acknowledge their biases and the role of historical discrimination\, non-inclusive behavioral actions\, and culture in creating an unjust society. The workshop will include presentations of valuable information\, facilitated discussions\, and reflection opportunities. \nWorkshop Goals\n\nIncrease understanding of building an equitable and inclusive culture.\nUnderstand the need to build psychological safety amongst teams\, identify individual biases\, and understand the role of inequitable systems.\nExplore your relationship with EDI in a safe environment.\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nStaff responsible for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\nHuman resources professionals\nOrganizational development professionals\nExecutives\nBoard members\nExecutive search firms\n\n \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 EDI Consultant\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n \n Senior Program Manager\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Undraye Howard\, PhD\n \n Vice President of Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Engagement\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Phyllis Richards\n \n Director of EDI and Research\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Deb Smith\n \n Executive Coordinator for the President/CEO\nProgram Manager\, Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion\nSocial Current \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sheryl White\, PhD\n \n Vice President of Training and Organizational Development \nNeighborhood House Association URL:https://www.social-current.org/event/advancing-edi-for-a-more-perfect-union-nov-session/ CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.social-current.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/EDI-Prefect-Union-Alt-Image-Nov.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231101T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231101T160000 DTSTAMP:20260415T124129 CREATED:20240423T165607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240423T165612Z UID:10000387-1698840000-1698854400@www.social-current.org SUMMARY:Advancing Equity Workshop: Fundamentals to Support Your Journey DESCRIPTION:Impact Partners and/or COA Accredited Organizations: $800 \nOther Organizations: $1\,000 \n \n\n \n Register \n \n Session Dates: July 9\, 16\, and 25 from noon – 3 p.m. ET. \nUnderstanding how to build an inclusive and equitable culture is the job of every leader within an organization.
