DEI and Volunteer Leadership

Summary

Volunteer leaders are instrumental in implementing ASHA’s strategic focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The wide range of perspectives and backgrounds among members of most committees presents both a challenge and an opportunity for volunteer leaders. Some leaders feel unsure of how to address issues associated with DEI. However, the multitude of voices, perspectives, and experiences can result in highly effective committees and outcomes when managed well. In this webinar, you will gain valuable insights on specific practices that you can use as a volunteer to create an inclusive and safe environment to maximize your members’ engagement.   

Learner Outcomes

  • Describe DEI as a lever for more productive volunteer engagement and impact
  • Explain practices for creating psychological safety, including recognizing and addressing microaggressions and domains of privilege
  • Explain how to facilitate sensitive discussions based on a growth-focused model (ADVANCE), especially around race
