Inclusion NextWork’s next virtual event on Monday 20th April 2020 (5:30 – 6:45pm EST) will explore the topic of Accountability Beyond the Binary. According to the organiser, it’s becoming vital for organisations to have necessary and long-overdue conversations around inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice (IDEAS) – without which social inequalities will persist inside and outside the workplace.
The event will explore how to hold ourselves, and others, more accountable without shutting down conversations, as well as how to move past the discomfort of getting it wrong so that we can learn while getting messy and draw insights from our mistakes.
EVENT AIMS
The virtual event aims to:
- Explore ways to assess where you, others, and the organisation are in terms of readiness and comfort-level to have these kinds of crucial conversations.
- Deepen our understanding of allyship and accomplice work.
- Consider ways to effectively navigate conflict and hold both ourselves and others accountable to shared values and purpose.
- Delve into ways of expanding the circle of champions, practitioners, and advocates of IDEAS to more equitably distribute the labour of fostering community, belonging and justice.
KEY SPEAKERS
To help answer these questions, the virtual event will feature non-profit leaders, Samantha Drennon, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Manager at College Forward in Austin; Mariah Minigan, Director of Inclusion and Engagement at Democracy Works, a nonpartisan non-profit; and Liz Ramey, Director of Operations and Governance at Indivisible, where she has led the development of organisational policies and processes with a DE&I lens, and a strong focus on racial justice.
