Description

Inequities are critical barriers to organizational development. Biases are not simply an issue of individual motivation, but instead a pattern that manifests in the policies, practices, and everyday operations of the organization occurring without the intention or awareness of leadership. The impacts and negative outcomes of diversity inequities can lead to lower service, poorer training quality, and less engagement. Ultimately, this means associations that fail to address inequities within their organization fall short of their mission and vision. This online training course will guide you in exploring how to perform a diversity equity audit for associations and will give you the tools you need to identify who has a voice in your association and what needs to be done to ensure everyone has a seat at the table.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the purpose of a diversity audit
• Define key terms associated with equity audits
• Prepare for an equity audit
• Establish the diversity audit
• Explain what to do after the audit results are compiled and areas of improvement are identified
