Equity & Inclusion Leaders Network (EILN)
Diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging are all essential elements to build healthy and thriving workplaces, but ensuring you are integrating the best DEI practices into your organization’s culture can be incredibly challenging. Our Equity and Inclusion Leaders Network (EILN) offers eight forward-thinking sessions on topics that include addressing systemic workplace barriers, how to conduct a DEI audit, how to retain a diverse workforce, restoring trust, and more. EILN presenters are subject matter experts in the field with lived experiences who bring a wide breadth of knowledge and insight to these presentations. EILN sessions allow for plenty of opportunities to learn, engage in thoughtful conversations, network with your peers, and receive respectful feedback to support you in applying new and additional tools and strategies that center DEI to your nonprofit.
