From Overwhelm to Action: What Leaders Can do to Advance Equity in Polarizing Times

May 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm MDT

$35 – $45

As demographics rapidly shift, it’s crucial for organizational leaders to develop equity literacy and competence, with an aim to close the gaps in opportunities, support, and outcomes that exist due to factors based on one’s identity (such as race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation). Sometimes this work can be challenging, especially when there’s competing information, policies to decode, and issues that are emotionally charged. However, finding the right steps forward is essential for creating a truly inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Join us on May 16th (10 am – 12 pm MST) for a transformative session that will equip you with insights and strategies for fostering Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within your organization. We are thrilled to welcome author, inclusion expert, and CEO of Anima Leadership, Annahid Dashtgard, as our guest speaker for an enlightening session. This is an unmissable opportunity for leaders committed to driving social change and building a more equitable and inclusive society.

Session Takeaways

  • The essentials of EDI: what it is, why it matters, and how to implement it
  • Systems thinking for EDI from a leadership perspective
  • Key findings from a sector data survey and report on inclusion
  • A stronger sense of community and clarity on steps forward
