As nonprofit organizations, we seek to be both mirrors and windows in our work – reflecting what currently exists and providing a view to the equitable future we are creating with each other. In practical terms, what does institutional racism look like? And then how can we dismantle it? Inspired by the story of Bree Newsome, PANO is setting out to do “just” that.
Facilitated by PANO Consultants and offered in partnership with the Nonprofit & Community Assistance Center and the Northeast Library District, this two-part online workshop will address the concept of injustice and “best practices” in organizational bylaws, specifically looking at using the governing documents' power to ensure inclusion and accessibility.
Becoming Mirrors: August 25; 1-2:30 pm
Becoming Windows: September 1; 1-2:30 pm
