Best Practices in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Peer-Learning Council developed this nine-month, peer-learning workshop as an opportunity for participants to learn about and engage in best practice for diversity, equity and inclusion. Each session is led by local diversity educators and practitioners who discuss best practice strategies and leave participants with tools and processes to put into immediate practice within their own organization. At the end of the nine months, participants are asked to present on a project they have created that utilizes the skills learned throughout the workshops to support their organization’s equity and inclusion goals. Topics covered include:
- Return on Investment
- Key Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Concepts
- Leading Organizations Through Change
- Organizations and Culture
- Meeting Organizational Goals: Intent vs. Impact
- Culture and Communication: What Skills are Needed?
- Recruitment Strategies
- Retention Strategies
The current session started in August 2018 and will conclude in May 2019. If you are interested in participating in a future session of this series, contact Clara Lopez Ortiz at clara@dbqfoundation.org to receive updates.
