Exclusively for Nonprofit Boards! Join us for a presentation and facilitated discussion, with the author and commissioner of "Deeply Rooted: History’s Lesson for Equity in Northern Virginia." Register and receive a complementary copy of the study.
Steven Woolf, researcher and lead author, said "The disadvantaged neighborhoods we see today did not come about by accident—decades of policies have served to segregate people of color and choke off opportunities for education and wealth-building, making a downhill economic spiral inevitable. The good news is that if policies got us here, policies can get us out. Being intentional today about opening doors of opportunity for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American and other immigrants is good for our region, can strengthen the economy, and will help make us whole."
We know that members of nonprofit boards are on a learning journey in the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion space and we believe they are in the vital to changing policy and the landscape or our community so all have the opportunity to thrive.
The $150 fee covers all board members and the facilitators' fees.
