2024 events now released
These networking groups meet regularly throughout the year to connect with one another and generate support and collaboration among nonprofits in the Cedar Valley!
belonging first
Leadership as well as non-leadership engagement, commitment and accountability are critical to the success of any equity, diversity, inclusion and engagement (DEI&B) journey that the organization embarks upon. Without solid alignment, the efforts could be derailed due to multiple root issues that prevent a collective vision at all levels of an organization. DEl&B is an ongoing journey that begins at the individual level to proactively influence sustained behavior changes and organizational outcomes.
Introspection and authentic self-reflection will be encouraged in this brave space as leaders explore how they can empower and inspire diverse teams in today's global economy. Various tools and resources may be used to help participants assess where they may be on their journey to identify strengths and opportunities for growth. When leaders change their actions from simply handing out money for DEl&B initiatives to "check the box", to making a personal commitment to DEl&B, and when non-leaders begin to see their value and sense of belonging as their whole selves, it positively impacts the entire culture.
