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.
Objectives:
• Understand foundational DEI terminology, theory, concepts, strategies, and their impact on nonprofits and the nonprofit community.
• Identify the DEI standards of expectation and best practices as defined both DEI and nonprofit industry leaders.
• Evaluate current DEI trends and data as they pertain to the philanthropic community.
• Understand and be able to articulate a clear link between DEI and organizational performance.
Who should attend: Nonprofit Management Program participants and any nonprofit employee, leader, board member, stakeholder, or anyone who contributes to the success of the organization and/or who has the desire to build their understanding of DEI and how it affects nonprofits. Part 2 attendance is highly recommended.
