Race and power are issues that affect all of us, all the time. Many of our organizations are at different places; some are only now getting past the case-making on race, and some have made explicit commitments to uplifting equity in its many different forms. With that comes the implementation – how can we stay true to commitments, or to ourselves if our organizations aren’t there, and keep equity at the helm of everything our organization does?

Given the deep importance of this topic, EPIP DC is launching a two part event series to both provide inspiration to emerging leaders as they navigate these tough dynamics and also allow for small discussions to dive deep into potential solutions.

First, join us on Tuesday, October 3, for an interactive discussion with Storme Gray, Keisha Leverette, and Chante Coleman to talk about how EPIP’ers can move equity-related issues through their organizations. This conversation will hopefully inspire you to act and build your skills in this work.

Then on Friday, October 6, taking what we learned earlier in the week, we’ll continue the conversation over lunch with small group peer coaching on issues you face in the workplace. Please register here for Part 2.

Thought Leaders:

• Storme Gray, Program Officer, Washington Area Women’s Foundation

• Keisha A. Leverette, Director of Development and Donor Services, Baltimore Community Foundation

• Chante Coleman, Director, Choose Clean Water Coalition

• Rumsha Ahmed, GEO, Moderator

Breakfast will be provided.
