This event is part of a series of virtual trainings with Multicultural BRIDGE addressing cultural competency. 

Gwendolyn VanSant of BRIDGE joins us again for a workshop on Inclusive Leadership. We will walk through the Deloitte Model of Inclusive Leadership and look at Race Equity Levers to map out steps towards inclusion, including a race equity focus. As participants reflect on their role in their workplaces, the workshop is meant to map out considerations and best practices for holistic approaches to equity and justice for leaders and organizations.

In advance of the meeting, we encourage you to view the following videos from the New Pathways series:

JENNIFER WILLIAMS ON "BUILDING AN EQUITABLE FUTURE: WEAVING HR AND E & I DURING & POST COVID-19"

SHAMEEKA MATTIS-PINARD ON “STAYING MENTALLY STRONG IN SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK”

TONI BERGINS ON “EMBODYING POWER, EMPATHY, AND COMPASSION FOR THE WORK AHEAD”

This session is open to all. We encourage you to invite other members of your organizations and boards to attend, and ask that each person register individually.
