Leadership for ALL

 

Six-week Course | October 21 - December 21, 2024

Registration limit: 5 attendees from the same library system

Time Commitment: 4 - 5 hours total of online self-paced learning

Move from surface talk about diversity and inclusion to real, honest conversations about justice and action plans that advance equity. Go beyond DEI and get your whole library ready to work for justice. This training offers the chance to explore the relationship between identity and power, learn about the historical roots of oppression and make commitments to actions that advance justice.
