Diversifying Our OrganizationsAn intensive training in diversity, equity, and inclusivity Thanks to a multi-year grant from the Katharine S. and Axel G. Rosin Fund, A.R.T. New York has launched a new program, Diversifying our Organizations. Working with the Raben Group's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team as well as Hewlett Consulting's Center for Talent Innovation, Diversifying our Organizations will provide a DEI cohort for member organizations interested in building capacity to diversify their organizations: from their staff to their audiences and board members. The program will feature 4 cohorts, supporting 12 companies each. These cohorts will consist of 7 monthly meetings, beginning January 2018 (the first cohort), August 2018 (the second), October 2018 (the third), and a fourth cohort beginning in March of 2019. Upon selection, cohort members will participate in a series of workshops to help them build a business case for diversity, ensure a culture of inclusion, think differently about who should be part of one's organization as a director, address audience participation, and understand how diverse experiences and background will enhance the value of one's theater. With the support of diversity and inclusion experts, the DEI cohort will share concerns, opportunities, and lessons learned in embarking on an organizational diversity journey. Please note that the program's success requires the participation of a staff leader and a board member who will commit to attending the scheduled workshops. It is crucial to an organization's participation in the program that the staff member and board member make the best possible efforts to attend all scheduled workshops. This is a collective cohort learning experience, and each monthly meeting will build on the concepts in the previous meeting. This application requires responses from both the staff member and board member. Additionally, participants in the program will be invited to social events where cohort members will be able to meet potential board members from diverse backgrounds. The dates for these events will be announced at a later date. For more information about this program, please contact Corinne Woods, Programs Coordinator, at c[email protected] or (212) 244-6667 ext. 241.
