Session I: Who Am I As a Nonprofit Leader

Recognizing Our Stories, Identities & Blind Spots.

Leading an organization inclusively requires one to have a keen understanding of who they are and how they show up. The session will focus on nonprofit leaders reflecting on who they are, how they came to be, and what might get in the way of their leadership. Specifically addressing unconscious bias, this session will draw out the mind bugs from birth that hamper our ability to include others who are different from ourselves.

This session will be held via Zoom on April 26, 2023 from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM.
