October 15th (Tuesday) from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Virtual)

Rapidly shifting demographics, globalization, and greater social awareness regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion have compelled nonprofit organizations to embrace a more diverse and equitable workplace culture. No longer are the terms diversity, equity, and inclusion only associated with an organization’s crisis response, but with the way they do business day-in and day-out. This two-part course will help equip both yourself and your organization to embrace the power of human diversity and to learn how to integrate DEI into your practices, policies, and programming.
