Cultures of Belonging in Civic Organizations

with Alida Miranda-Wolff

Learn to create cultures of belonging within your organizations, board, and communities

This session will include the most impactful recommendations for fostering belonging according to the R2P2 (Recruiting, Retention, Promotion, and Protection) model, with a special focus on the unique needs of civic and public good organizations. Alida will leverage her experience working with libraries, townships and cities, and public good institutions to tailor custom recommendations for your community.


Alida Miranda-Wolff is the CEO and Founder of Ethos, a full-service diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging transformation firm. Alida is also the author of the book Cultures of Belonging: Building Inclusive Organizations that Last, released with HarperCollins Leadership on February 15, 2022. Alida received her certification in diversity, equity, and inclusion from Georgetown University and has eight years of practitioner experience. In 2021, Alida was a recipient of the University of Chicago’s Early Career Achievement Award. By helping organizations and the people inside of them understand their relationships with power, how to use their power responsibly, and how to share their power, she helps create the conditions for everyone to thrive at work. She focuses on teaching love, healing harm, and scaling belonging in everything she does. 


Learn more about Cultures of Belonging: Building Inclusive Organizations that Last

Clear, actionable steps for you to build new values, experiences, and perspectives into your organizational culture, infusing it with the diversity, inclusion, and belonging employees need to feel accepted, be their best selves, and do their best work.
 
Bypass the faulty processes and communication styles that make change impossible in so many other organizations; access these practical tools and ideas for increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in your company.
 
Filled with actionable advice Alida Miranda-Wolff learned through her own struggles being an outsider in a work culture that did not value inclusion, and having since worked with over 60 organizations to prioritize DEI initiatives and all the value and richness it adds to the workplace, this roadmap helps leaders:
 
-       Learn why creating an environment where everyone feels belonging is the new barometer for employee engagement.
-       Develop an understanding of the key terms around DEI and why they matter. 
-       Assess where your organization is today.
-       Define and take the small steps that build new muscle memory into an organizational culture.
-       Increase employee engagement, collaboration, innovation, communication, and sense of belonging.
-       Build confidence in how to solve future DEI-related challenges.
-       Get buy-in from colleagues (and even resisters) who can clearly see how to move forward and why.
 
Overcome any limiting work environment and build all new processes and communication priorities that allow your employees to be a part of something greater than themselves while your organization learns to value and embrace the unique experiences and perspective that each employee brings to the company.
