An interactive panel discussion looking at ED&I within our Higher Education Institutions and exploring the progress made since 2020. The session will offer an overview on how the HE sector addressed EDI, Belonging and 'the Anti-Racist Institution' work in the five-years since the pandemic, and briefly reflecting on the early impact of new leadership in the White House, USA. Together we will explore what EDI&B is, who it matters to, and how it might matter for you as Advancement professionals and future leaders. The session will look at systems change, Advancement recruitment, retention, progression and culture, alumni engagement and philanthropic practice. You can directly shape the session by being courageous and asking the questions you've always wanted to ask. There will be protected time to share questions with the panel for discussion in the plenary or later, in the elective.
