As individuals and as boards, trustees and Heads of School have been embarking on learning journeys to understand Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Independent School context. In this session we will explore ways to effectively integrate this learning into board processes. By sharing concrete examples and tools for participants, the presenters will model pathways to creating meaningful shifts toward equitable practices and participation by a broader group of voices. At the end of this session you will have actionable ideas about how to:

• Make your boardroom a more inclusive space
• Broaden your scope for board recruitment
• Improve your culture of belonging at the board level
• Center equity in decision making

Presented by Alexa Carver, Consultant, Inspire Impact Consulting and Mahtab Mahmoodzadeh, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, The Overlake School
