Current Workshops
Doing “The Work”: Community, Connection, and Support for DEIB Practitioners
Facilitated by members of The San Francisco Equity Leaders (SFEL), a cohort of DEI Directors from Bay Area independent schools and consultants, this ongoing program is intended for people who are doing DEIB work in official and “unofficial” roles. It is meant to provide participants with a safe and supportive community to reflect, share stories, and learn from each other.

Members of the C-suite and other senior administrators need to engage in the work personally and model what stumbling forward with vulnerability and humility can look like for others.
