Join a Capital District Kiwanis webinar about DEIBA on September 19 at 7:00pm. Use the website link provided below for more information and to register.
Relationship building is key to success with any group or organization in today’s society. It is imperative for your club to foster an inclusive and welcoming climate for all. However, have you ever thought about why someone may not join a club, organization, or team? In this training, you will learn to understand how bias and microaggressions can affect the relationship a group can have with each other and the communities they serve. Strategies will be presented on how to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, regardless of age, race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Tactics will also be presented on how to intervene and address any acts of bias or microaggressions that may arise within our Kiwanis family.
