About this Event

New to 2020

2020 has brought some interesting challenges to the Board Leadership Calgary planning team, but we are committed to providing high quality learnings for your non-profit organizations. Like previous years, the intention is to provide basic level learnings for board of directors, staff, and those looking to be involved in non-profit organizations.

This year's learning event will have a different format. We are spreading the learning to three different days of online webinars and three OPTIONAL "Follow Up Friday's" for networking and an extended Question and Answer period, following the topic of the week.

Webinar Description

We're living in a moment of racial reckoning. Since the murder of George Floyd, the scale of Black Lives Matter protests, from grassroots organizations to registered charities, individuals and community organizers must consider what this cultural revolution is asking of us. Many nonprofits are wondering how they can best respond to this moment and how they can hold themselves accountable to their Black, Indigenous, and racialized community members. But taking action is not easy, and many may be paralyzed into inaction. In this session, we will talk about why taking action to address racism is critical for nonprofits to do, and how to overcome the barriers and challenges they may encounter as they begin this work.

In this 2-hour session we will discuss:

Anti-racism and accountability to community can develop as emergent strategy
How prioritizing equity, accessibility and intersectionality serves all of us

Important note: In this session, we will be talking about race, racism, racialization, and white supremacy directly and openly. This may be uncomfortable for some attendees, and that's ok. The purpose of this session is to walk into our discomfort around racism and learn how we can better understand it together. The facilitators ask that all attendees adhere to their "Accountable Spaces Guidelines" (which will be introduced in the session). Sincere questions that seek to build understanding are welcome, but discrimination of any form will not be tolerated within the session. By signing up for this webinar you are adhering to the information presented here.
