Leading for DE&I While White

VIRTUAL EVENT SERIES
"Show up and be ready to take risks"
In doing the essential work of ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion at your organization, it’s vital to understand that people of color didn’t create these issues. Also, one of the functions of systemic racism is to deny them the capital to solve such complex problems. In order to create the irreversible, sustainable change that’s needed, White leaders must show up and be ready to risk social and political capital in their organizations – and even complicate some of their relationships.
In this interactive virtual event, the third of a three-part series, we’ll hear from White leaders who know that this imperative is “on them.” We’ll look at how and why they’ve committed to this work, and the steps they’re taking to ensure effective and permanent diversity, equity, and inclusion in their districts.
