Part 2: Setting Organizational Goals with an Equity and Inclusion Lens
Thurs, September 2, 9:30 - 11:30 am

As grantees strive to advance mission-critical work inside and outside of our organizations, goals can be powerful tools to drive focus, prioritization, alignment, and accountability. Done well, goal-setting can also help create guardrails to identify and prevent disparate impact and inequity in our outcomes. This presentation will cover:

  • Why goal setting is important

  • Frameworks to set goals for your organization’s work internally and externally

  • How to apply the SMARTIE framework to goal setting to make goals actionable and equitable


Part 3: Investing in the Development of Your Team: Core Practices of Equitable People Development
Thurs, September 30, 9:30 - 11:30 am

Investing in the growth and development of our staff is critical to getting better results in the long run, and it’s also essential for cultivating and retaining a highly engaged team. Yet, too often inequities play out in who is getting the attention, investment, feedback, and support needed to grow in their roles. The Management Centers knows from research and lived experience that there are persistent patterns of disproportionate turnover and barriers to promotion for people of color in the nonprofit sector. By being proactive and bringing a racial equity lens to staff development, managers can help interrupt these inequities. This presentation will cover:

  • Frameworks for spotting and mitigating implicit bias in evaluation and feedback

  • How to cultivate belonging and invest in the growth and development of your team over time

  • Ways to give effective feedback and address performance issues with an equity lens
