This transformative program is designed for white supervisors committed to fostering inclusive and equitable workplaces. We believe that effective leadership requires a deep understanding of how our actions impact others, particularly in the context of race and identity.
Why Anti-Racist Supervision?
Effective supervision contributes directly to organizational impact and success and to creating a culture of belonging. When supervisors intentionally create relationships characterized by mutual respect and trust, staff can bring their best thinking and creative zest because they feel supported. But research shows that white leaders are much more likely to build these kinds of relationships with other white staff leaving their Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other staff of color without the support to succeed.
White supervisors have a unique opportunity and responsibility to ensure that everyone they work with contributes to mission effectiveness in a meaningful way. In order to do that well, white leaders need to be reflective about how we are building cross race relationships and ensuring that we are aware of the ways we may be unintentionally providing our Black and Brown and Indigenous staff with fewer tools to succeed.
Program begins on September 26, 2024 and includes six virtual sessions.
