Webinar description:

The racial justice movement created a new sense of urgency for board members to better understand and address diversity, equity, and inclusion. However, many boards continue to struggle with how to lead with authenticity and set the tone at the top. In this session, we will:

■  Create a safe space for conversations
■  Explore what it looks like to align DEI values and actions for greater impact
■  Identify challenges and opportunities to catalyze change
