Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 series
Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 series
We are excited to announce our upcoming series that is now open to the larger non-profit and higher education community in Whatcom County AND beyond. Over the next several months we will focus on AORTA's Uprooting White Supremacy in Organizations materials. We will have an initial meeting in the fall where participants will be introduced to the materials as well as a survey that can be brought back to your organization to analyze how these characteristics show up in your work. The winter and spring series will focus on diving deeper into analysis of each of the topics outline in the AORTA handout with the main focus being collective conversation how this resource intersects with our work and our lives.
You do NOT need to take the AORTA training, but this would of course deepen your experience of the material!
