Elective Session
True institutional transformation occurs when leadership emphasizes the critical role of centering equity as a priority and connecting practices to structures and processes, especially during times of uncertainty. Shared equity leadership provides advancement leaders a unique opportunity to scale their equity work by organizing teams across the division who take collective responsibility in developing and moving diversity and inclusion priorities forward. This session will describe how Brown University's Advancement Division pivoted during a time when our nation was addressing worldwide health crises and organically applied shared equity leadership to achieve its diversity and inclusion fundraising priorities and goals.
