Building Equitable Organizations on Purpose

Dates: Tuesdays | Mar 16 - Apr 27 | 4:30pm - 6:00pm

For many company leaders, creating an inclusive environment within their organization is their greatest hope, yet they are uncertain of the strategies, actions and behaviors needed to develop and integrate inclusion in a purposeful way. This course is designed for organizational leaders who want to either transform their existing organization to be more equitable, or to build a new venture that includes equity as a core focus from the beginning. Participants will be guided through the process of creating their own equity-oriented organizational strategy, learn key leadership practices needed to create and sustain an inclusive culture in their company and leave feeling empowered to put everything into action.
