37:42
Jameelah - we will be sending a follow up email, which will have a recording of the webinar today

37:51
thank you

38:24
So no PowerPoint? I understand the recording will be coming.

38:58
Maurice - the recording is also video. So you will see the presentation you are seeing now, which includes the slides.

39:40
Will we receive the PowerPoint though?

39:40
Thank you! Would it be possible to include the handouts (survey ex. etc.) with the email?

40:07
Maurice - I will ask Jimena afterwards. Thank you!

40:09
but at times its playful, because they place us in this role to say they did it, but they are not serious about doing the work

40:23
Love being intentional to include people who are resistant

40:49
Kelly - the handouts were sent yesterday. If you didn’t receive, I would check your spam folder. If you don’t see it, please email info@naaweb.org and we can send your way!

41:14
Great thanks Megan!

41:20
Thanks Megan. I do have a question of the framing around "equity" -- the conversation was framed around police brutality, and directly tied to elevated racial unrest throughout the country and as I type this is centering how to engage (or not to) engage people of color in the conversation-- so I wanted to ask about the framing of "equity" in absence of "racial equity". I am noting an opportunity to be clear around prioritizing this as a "racial equity" conversation, and not just an "equity" conversation.

41:45
How do you gain the commitment from leadership? is it a meeting and they verbally say they agree? what are your suggestions?

49:48
teaching tolerance is a great resource @pedro

50:29
Thank you @ Jameelah

50:30
time and money are an indicator of commitment

51:03
Also Human Resources: Is this part of someone’s job? Do we have people dedicated to the work in their job description?

51:14
Make the initiative part of the leadership team's performance measures. And ask that they set equity as a goal for the organization, so it stays up front and high level.

51:20
In our city, we focused on getting buy in from one key, high leverage stakeholder first because we knew that she would influence others

51:34
Fortunate for our team, the leadership launched it.

51:58
Showing the return on the investment is a way to get some leaders on board.

51:59
engage in data driven learning and discuss desired macro outcomes

52:05
Yes we first got leadership to agree it was something important, but then it was a little harder to "get the ball rolling" I would say we had a lot of yellow lights so slow going progress

52:09
Leadership should feel responsible for fulfilling the vision and mission always. And should commit to agreement.

52:18
I think the key in what you said is that a third party/external person, can also help with this! it sounds and is taken differently from someone who looks like them and is not a part of the team than it is from me! lol

52:37
Thank you all this is great advice!

52:59
Engaging the board has been effective for us obtaining buy in and meaningful movement as well as ensuring we center and elevate racial equity

54:52
@monique - how were you able to engage the board? our organization is new and small and I have not been able to engage with the board!

55:05
I can't hear you anymore Jimena!!!

55:52
Karen, I’m sorry you can’t hear Jimena. Everything looks great on our end. I would maybe leave the meeting and come back in

58:07
Hi Jameelah! I can appreciate that leg of the journey! It was definitely a process. In short, our entry point in the DEI conversation was backed by leadership and launched with an internal DEI talent group. It then became a "power in numbers" initiative" that grew in influence the outcome of which was securing time with the board who then created their own DEI committee! Would love to connect to share more! mjarvis@leapnyc.org

01:02:50
that was 5 minutes!!

01:02:59
@Cynthia & @Benjamin here is the tool I referenced: https://mmt.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/Meyer-DEI-Spectrum-Tool-2017.pdf

01:03:07
I know so quick!!

01:03:08
wow it felt like sonic the hedgehog 5 minutes lol haha

01:03:14
lol@Jameelah!

01:03:34
lol

01:03:45
hahaha!

01:03:56
Thanks Monique!

01:04:48
Thank you for addressing that! I will say that if we can't say "racial equity" then we should interrogate our use of framing conversations around police brutality.

01:04:49
Do you have an example of group rules for committee work on DEI?

01:04:55
Is it possible for you to reshape the resources that were sent previously? I think I missed those.

01:05:11
And other race-centered issues.

01:05:22
are we able to come off mute or should we type questions in the chat?

01:05:32
Diversity can be tokenizing and inclusion implies a power dynamic that is fundamentally inequitable. Do you have recommendations about other framing besides diversity and inclusion?

01:05:40
info@naaweb.org

01:05:41
Is there a great tool or resource to help us figure out where we need to do some discovery? I don't know what I don't know and I'm afraid I'll miss an opportunity to make some change/create a policy/etc.

01:05:41
What is the best first step internally once you have the team on board with doing the work?

01:05:46
it says I have been muted

01:05:46
I really appreciated your earlier point about creating a common language. The meanings of "equity" and "inclusion" have really evolved in our district and afterschool program landscape over the years.

01:05:47
by the host

01:06:09
okay now I am able to come off mute, thank you

01:06:26
sorry about that Garima - I wasn’t fast enough :)

01:06:40
that's okay! it worked now

01:07:03
yes!!!!!

01:07:46
I am feeling good about this.My break out buddies Jill and Sharanda were awesome! it felt like we already knew each other and are from 3 different states and shared some of the same views.

01:07:52
I'm thinking and feeling that we should definitely continue our efforts.

01:08:05
Head - I have a lot of work to do Heart - focused/discouraged I feel that my organization wont take it seriously as many of them feel they have arrived and that they are "woke" lol ..Feet - creating a survey

01:08:07
Thinking: Our work has just begun at my organization Feeling: Ready for the challenge Acting upon: more inclusion

01:08:29
Head - Trying to think about ways to move from identifying problems to coming up with solutionsHeart - Overwhelmed, but excited about what the next few years will look likeFeet - Continuing to talk + listen to students and coworkers from different backgrounds

01:08:36
Appreciate action steps and any guides & guidelines. Our challenge is to codify our efforts, make them part of the ongoing policy and practice. With staff turnover, we need to ensure that we aren't re-learning the same things over and over.

01:08:40
Would love to connect with my group offline....

01:09:18
How can we connect with our group?

01:09:35
I can very kuch relate with this...

01:09:43
*much

01:09:44
Maurice - email info@naaweb.org and we can help you out once the webinar closes

01:10:13
everybody got something to say but nothing to DO! SMH

01:10:51
I think we need to formalize what we already do and build on that, starting with Discovery to make sure that we as the leaders are connecting with staff and have common language. I feel like we have been assuming for a while now.

01:11:07
Maurice - Would love to connect! My email is melissat@childrensmuseum.org.

01:11:16
'What is it called" water/lilly/root ? do you have a link to this resource...it sounds great!

01:11:16
Ideas around practices for limiting biases in work culture, management, hiring and recruitment, and actively engaging in conversations around bias with our youth that relate to our DEI work.

01:11:21
Have a private meeting with manager and get them to commit to what they will and will not be willing to change. That way, you can begin to compromise.

01:11:23
same here, Maurice! Im at gbhatthandley@higherachievement.org

01:11:23
That happens with us too Jameelah! Or that folks want to do something but what they want to do is that surface-level, 4F diversity stuff rather than the hard work that leads to positive outcomes

01:11:41
exactly @Bonnie

01:11:44
thanks

01:11:48
Thank you, Jimena and everyone!

01:11:48
when is the next one!! this was great!

01:11:56
2 Weeks?

01:11:57
we need more than 45 minutes for sure!

01:12:02
Thank you! We had great discussion. Have the best day everyone!!! :)

01:12:03
Head - I am going to make this happen Heart - open (thank you for making this a comfortable space) Feet - Added to board agenda!

01:12:05
THANKS!

01:12:06
I think we've done a lot of discovery and have a strong level of commitment in people, time, money, and resources to move the needle in this work
