Product not yet rated
- Registration Closed

COURSE IS FULL - another class will take place in the fall (details to come)
A four-hour intensive course for leaders working toward a more equitable and just profession.
The animal welfare field needs to change, and you play a crucial role in forging the path toward more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizations. It can feel overwhelming and confusing. Where do we begin the journey? How do we know if we’re making progress? How do we get staff buy-in?
In this Executive Leadership Class, you will work together as a cohort of committed leaders. Participants will engage in self-reflection, explore a roadmap for making DEI a strategic goal in your organization, and identify core skills leaders need to model.
While we recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion from multiple levels of an organization, this course is specifically designed to support senior leaders, including executives, C-level staff, directors of municipal animal services, and board members.
- This online course will not be recorded.
- Virtual break rooms will be used for small group activities and reflection.
- This course requires pre-work. Additional details will be provided after registration, however, we ask that leaders interested in this course commit to a total of 5 hours of pre-work before our scheduled session.
- Participants who complete the course will receive a printable certificate of completion and access to office hours from Maria Morukian and Jasmin M. Robinson.
