DEI in Advancement Summer Conference - August 5th - FREE for CCIS Members,

In Person at Hathaway Brown School

Registration is CLOSED

Join your CCIS advancement and marketing/communications colleagues on Friday, August 5 for a one-day workshop where we’ll examine the unique aspects of our work – the policies, practices, and engrained traditions – that impact our independent schools’ diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and the sense of belonging within our communities.

We will engage in discussion and provide a framework for taking actionable (and manageable) steps towards change in the upcoming academic year. Join us in reflecting on meaningful DEI outcomes and committing to making positive impact within our organizations!

Important note: All registrants will receive links to view the series of four webinars from Lynne Wester/Donor Relations Guru that cover topics directly related to the August 5 workshop. We kindly ask that you watch all four webinars prior to attending the workshop so that our conversations on that day are enhanced by a shared context and baseline understanding of the content. Thank you to Lynne Wester/Donor Relations Guru, who generously provided access to these webinars free of charge!
