Finding Your Voice: Leading Change in a Post-Pandemic World

Join us for an inspirational keynote featuring Valerie Jarrett, President of the Barack Obama Foundation and a Senior Distinguished Fellow at The University of Chicago Law School. As a former public official in Chicago and the longest serving advisor to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett has played a pivotal role in developing laws, policies and practices while navigating change.

In this intimate conversation, Valerie will discuss how she found her voice, leaned into life’s “zig-zags,” and became the longest serving advisor to President Obama. She will also share strategies on how nonprofit, civic, and community leaders can find and use their voices to drive change in the post-pandemic future.

A Time for Transformational Change: Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Inside and Outside Your Organization

Session Topics: Inclusive Leadership, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

Nonprofit leaders, board members, and employees are not immune to the biases and prejudices that may live in their organization and communities.

As our nation grapples with racial and gender equity, the need for nonprofit leaders to prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in their operations and governance has become more important than ever.

Join us for a discussion on how to identify structural inequities in your organization and how those in leadership positions can advance more inclusive policies and practices to affect real change inside and outside of the organization. Learn actionable strategies to build a culture of inclusion and belonging to maximize your outreach.
