Watch: From Promise to Practice — Embedding Equity and Inclusion

Presenters: Kelly Bates, Interaction Institute for Social Change, Dr. Sonia BasSheva Mañjon, LeaderSpring Center, Shaheer Mustafa, HopeWell, and John Smith, TSNE

Embedding equity and inclusion in organizations is increasingly a priority for many nonprofits. Still, with a host of new research and learning on how to structure our policies and practices to support this work, many leaders struggle to maintain momentum toward achieving these goals. In this session, we explored the gaps between our aspirations and reality, and shared strategies to build pathways to developing effective organizational practices that move us toward a more diverse and equitable sector.
