When leadership changes, does your organization's commitment to equity change with it?

Transitions, whether a founder departure, an executive director search, board turnover, or a period of organizational restructuring, are moments of both risk and opportunity for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work. Too often, DEIB commitments live in the values of individual leaders rather than in the systems and policies of the organization itself, leaving them vulnerable to being deprioritized, diluted, or quietly dropped when key people move on.

Join us for a focused, one-hour virtual strategy session designed for nonprofit executive directors, senior managers, and board members who want to ensure that DEIB values are embedded in their organization's infrastructure, not just its personalities.

In this session, we'll explore:

• How to translate DEIB values into durable policies, practices, and decision-making structures

• Strategies for maintaining accountability and momentum during leadership handoffs

• What to look for (and ask for) when recruiting and onboarding new leadership around equity commitments

• How to build a culture where DEIB work continues regardless of who's in the room

Who should attend: Nonprofit executive directors, deputy directors, program managers, People & Culture professionals, and board members navigating or anticipating a leadership transition.

Format: This is a 60-minute virtual strategy session combining brief framing content with facilitated discussion and practical takeaways. Come ready to think through your own organization's transition readiness.
