Nonprofit leaders must work to create and foster inclusive work environments, address social and economic disparities, and engage diverse communities in their programming and organizations. The path to achieve greater equity is not always clear, and the work can be isolating.
NAO’s Equity and Inclusion Leaders Network (EILN) brings nonprofit leaders together to share best practices, connect with peers, and engage in deeper learning with thought leaders. Join us for this season’s EILN programming to learn how to lead, integrate, and practice equity, inclusion, and systemic change within your organization. This series of seven sessions is designed for nonprofit leaders, staff, board members, and volunteers and is open to any nonprofit leader who wants to learn more about best practices and advancing equity and inclusion.
