We need your input!
KNN and their partners on the Nonprofit Racial Equity Task Force are on a journey to help organizations build on the core strengths of diversity, equity, and inclusion - making space for greater client trust and engagement; larger employee, board and volunteer pools; better collaboration and decision-making; and stronger results.
To help them on this journey, they are launching a statewide survey to measure the current state. They recognize that some organizations are still tackling the basic concept of diversity. And at the other end of the spectrum, others are diversity and inclusion champions. But the results of these efforts are not being captured, quantified and documented in meaningful ways that can be leveraged for action across the sector. This survey will help them do that and we need to hear from you.
Some things to know about the survey:
- The survey should be completed by the Executive Director or CEO.
- If an organization has no paid staff leadership, we ask that the board chair or president complete the survey.
- The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
- All participants will remain anonymous.
- The survey is being administered and analyzed by the Decide Diversity expert consulting team.
All responses are due by Monday, February 15.
The survey results will be included in a summary report and used to provide organizations across Kentucky with action steps and resources to engage in creating communities where everyone can thrive.
If you need assistance, require additional information, or have questions please email KNN or their partners at Decide Diversity. |

This is Quitting now available for Kentuckians age 13-24
The Kentucky Department for Public Health encourages teens and young adults who want to quit vaping to get free help from This Is Quitting, a nationwide texting service.

The service is intended for young people ages 13 to 24, and is tailored by age group to give appropriate recommendations about quitting vaping. It was developed with input from young people who have already attempted to or succeeded in quitting e-cigarettes.
