DEI work requires a different approach and process than most other ways we learn to work, manage, and lead. Oppression manifests at four levels personal, interpersonal, organizational, and structural or systemic. To create a more equitable society, leaders must be prepared to address oppression at all four of these levels, often simultaneously. Part 2 of Leading with Equity Inclusion will focus on the last two levels, organizational and structuralsystemic, as you are introduced to tools, processes, and best practices for developing a culture of inclusion at all levels of your organization. Beginning with foundational knowledge of the evolution and current trends of DEI in nonprofits, you will practice evaluating an organizations current culture, policies, and practices with an equity lens. You will prepare to champion andor lead organizational change to center equity and be an antiracist organization.
