Many leaders, nonprofit executives, and administrators are on a learning curve with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts; often stuck with questions about how to implement ideas, what actions they should take, and which are the right steps to make real change. We’re right there with you! That’s why PANO, the Regional Foundation Center, and Villanova’s Department of Public Administration have teamed up with transformative culture consultant Monica O. Montgomery for this 3-part series, coming to you this summer.
Each session will be highly tailored, interactive, and customized to prioritize emotional growth, mindset shifts, deep understanding, and action plans over routine results and slideshows of corporate training. This is because we know that the work of anti-racism, cultural sensitivity, undoing implicit bias, and shifting organizations is an urgent moral imperative that needs a hands-on, high-touch, adaptive approach.
Avenues to Action is intentionally designed to incorporate both workshopping’ and ‘doing’ to amplify equity outcomes, strengthen individual accountability, and streamline strategies for institutional capacity. This series:
