We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits 458. A Conversation about Going Further with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts - Kevin Clayton, Travis Ning, Prisca Bae and Ashley Clinkscale
Join this panel of modern impact thinkers as we explore going further with our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. We’ll be challenging current practices, discussing the harm that’s still projected in our missions, how to value all people (not just your big donors!), building cultures of belonging, and understanding how to go beyond basic education and check-the-box diversity trainings. Everyone has a role to play in this conversation.
