Equity, Diversity Inclusion, & Indigeneity, (EDII) in Advancement, Forum

Written by Kara on 19 July 2018.

The Equity, Diversity Inclusion, & Indigeneity, (EDII) in Advancement, Forum aims to bring senior level advancement professionals & their institutional partners together, with the intent to provide thought leadership and strategic practices surrounding the importance of EDII and its impact on Canadian education. Sessions will include concrete take-aways such as tools, contacts and points of reference for your immediate use.

Presentations will cover overall EDII themes, how to have the difficult conversations, and how to re-shape and review your own intrinsic beliefs to alleviate any personal biases and behaviours. The advancement sector is at the forefront of these conversations for their institutions and this program will serve to educate you on how to move forward individually and as teams within your institution.

How to Lead the DEI Movement: growing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Advancement

Angelique S.C. Grant, Ph.D., Senior Consultant + Principal, The Inclusion Firm
Robert Henry, Vice President, Development, Culture and Talent, Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE)
Ron Schiller, Founding Partner and Senior Consultant, Aspen Leadership Group

At a moment when higher education institutions need real innovation and new strategies in order to engage all constituents and fulfill their missions, applying better practices in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to advancement is imperative. CCAE invites you to learn from Angelique S.C. Grant, PhD (The Inclusion Firm) and Ron Schiller (Aspen Leadership Group), in conversation with Rob Henry (CASE), as they present practical steps that advancement teams can take to move from awareness about DEI to action that yields results. The conversation will cover three critical areas: 1) creating a culture of inclusion; 2) recruiting and retaining a more diverse team, and 3) inclusive volunteer engagement and fundraising.

Content will draw from the presenters' direct expertise as senior advancement executives and from their book, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Advancement: A Guide to Strengthening Engagement and Fundraising Through Inclusion (CASE 2020).

Raising The Bar : Making Meaningful Inclusive Conversation

Sandeep Nair (he/they), Manager of Business Operations, Pride At Work Canada

Including LGBTQ2+ employees has gone from moral courage to a business imperative. We can't tell someone's sexual orientation or gender identity by looking at them, so the language we use to describe our identities has always been important and somewhat complex. Even those who identify as members of the LGBTQ2+ community can lose track of the most current and appropriate terms as well as how to use them in various workplace situations. This session will discuss how to use inclusive language and how to act in allyship - from talent acquisition to workplace culture

At the end of the session, participants will:

Have a better understanding of right language and making meaningful conversations
Understand the concept of LGBTQ2S+ across the globe and the cultural context of LGBTQ2S+ in the west compared to the east
Create an inclusive workplace through gender-neutral language
Understand the importance of pronouns
Understand how to act in allyship with LGBTQ2S+ communities

Being an ally to support an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace

Anne-Marie Pham, MPA (elle/she/her), Executive Director, Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion.

The social, economic and people imperative for a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace for all is clear. The best workplaces are those that provide the structure and culture that accept and support people of all backgrounds to be their best and offer equal access to opportunities. What role can you play in creating such a workplace environment? This interactive session will ground participants in a conversation around allyship: what it means, types of allies, reflection on one’s own allyship style(s), and concrete steps participants can take to act in allyship at the personal, team and organizational levels.

Audience: This session is applicable to everyone, regardless of your position or role in the organization.

Learning Objectives:

Understand what it means to be an ally in the workplace.
Learn strategies to act in allyship with folks who may be excluded.
Discuss scenarios to apply the knowledge learned.
Share key takeaways you can apply immediately.
