This fall, the Council on Foundations presents our second series of DEI roundtable series aimed at transforming Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) commitments into actionable strategies within foundations. The theme of our series this fall, by popular demand, is Operationalizing DEI!
Each session in this series will focus on practical methods for embedding DEI into key areas of foundation work, ensuring that these principles are not just aspirational but integral to everyday operations.
1. Self & Community Care for DEI Practitioners: Strategies for Resilience and Overcoming Resistance
Date: October 10th, 2:00 pm-3:30 pm ET
- Description: This session addresses the critical role of self and community care in sustaining DEI work. By prioritizing the well-being of practitioners, we create a foundation for resilience and long-term engagement. Operationalizing DEI begins with ensuring that those leading these efforts are equipped to manage resistance and avoid burnout, thereby maintaining the momentum needed to drive systemic change.
