There has been a wave of people and businesses across the country hiring consultants and creating task forces to tackle the issue of equity and diversity in the workplace. As the organizations most often working with those affected by inequity, it is important for nonprofits to also be looking at this issue and ensuring that we are incorporating a DEIB focus into all aspects of nonprofit management, from service areas to board members, messaging to fundraising.
Join the Arlington Chamber of Commerce’s Community Action Committee for our Nonprofit Forum which will discuss how belonging is the lens through which we should view our diversity, equity, and inclusion work. The panel – which features local experts and members of the nonprofit community currently undergoing a shift in their own organizations – will address issues such as:
- Shifting your organizational mindset
- How to establish conditions for accepting donations
- How to respectfully diversify your board
- Communicating change to your supporters
