Our society holds deeply ingrained attitudes about diverse groups based on demographics characteristics. How do you minimize the impact of these attitudes on the work your nonprofit is undertaking? Participants will gain knowledge, skills, and frameworks they can use to acknowledge these unconscious biases when they appear and minimize their impact. Reduced bias can increase outcomes and community support for your nonprofit’s work.
The Bite-Sized Learning events are designed by MCN’s Greater Minnesota team to keep us connected across the state. While the topics are chosen to meet the needs of Greater Minnesota, all are welcome here! Each event will have a short presentation along with plenty of time for networking and discussion on the designated topic. Bring your questions and expertise on the topic! With our cameras and microphones on, we can stay connected, learn, and support one another.
