Diversity Leaders Network

The cultural diversity of our community is always changing and requires that nonprofit organizations have the awareness and skills to work effectively with a wide range of people. An organization that values diversity and cross-cultural effectiveness values the people who work there, understands the community in which it operates, and is reflective of its own policies and practices.

Diversity Leaders Network is a gathering of peers where key diversity-related topics are highlighted and colleagues have an opportunity to learn from each other. Nonprofit leaders gain a better understanding of the causes and effects of different perspectives, and inspire open-mindedness and learning about issues that have the potential to both unite and divide our community.

Who should attend?

Diversity Leaders Network is designed specifically for people who lead their nonprofit’s diversity initiatives; for those interested in improving their understanding of diversity and its impact on their lives, their community, and the people they serve; and for those who enjoy meaningful dialogue about diversity issues.
