This session will put DEI principles into action to increase the League’s social impact work in communities across the nation. During this webinar, you will learn about State and Local Leagues’ activities that are expanding their reach into more diverse communities. Speakers will discuss the ways individual leaders are overcoming discomfort with communicating across dimensions of difference. This session builds on content offered at the June LWV Convention in Chicago that covered communicating across dimensions of difference through active listening, asking powerful questions, and noticing and mitigating bias.
We encourage your participation in this webinar as a specific League activity in order to share collective ideas and strategies that would be helpful in the near term and in advance of the election cycle. We invite all League members to participate individually or in teams. It is not necessary to have attended the Chicago training to participate in this webinar.
The discussion will be facilitated by Diversity Dimensions Consulting, LLC—a Washington, D.C. based company that provides effective solutions to individuals and organizations seeking to harness the power of diversity and inclusion. Diversity Dimensions focuses on the intersection of culture, identity, and traditional leadership competencies and customizes strategic solutions to ensure business and career success.
