Equity & Inclusion Leaders Network (EILN)
In these challenging times, effective nonprofit leadership is more important than ever. This ongoing learning opportunity weaves together theory, experience, and context to help leaders deal creatively with the full range of organizational issues. NAO's Equity and Inclusion Leaders Network helps nonprofit leaders to learn how to lead, integrate, and practice equity and inclusion with their organization and leadership. Each session is designed to strengthen your cross-cultural skills and understanding while providing field-tested concepts and tools to take back to your organization for implementation. In addition to skills development, each session allows for networking and peer coaching in a collaborative learning environment.
