Objectives Clarify the distinction between cultural competency and cultural humility. Identify whose voices are being centered and whose voices may be excluded in board discussions and decision-making. Encourage participants to apply cultural humility principles within their board roles for more impactful and sustainable governance. This is targeted to current nonprofit board members, potential board members, and Executive Directors. We encourage you to bring your whole board to this training and are providing a special group discount rate. Details in pricing section below.
