The Inclusion Inspiration Lab for Food Co-op Boards & GM's

Inclusion Inspiration Lab for Food Co-op Boards & GM’s
Many have indicated that while they have learned a lot about DEIB, they continue to struggle with inclusion, AND, that they long for the opportunity to interact with and learn from their peers.
This Inclusion Inspiration Lab will offer an energizing and stimulating environment for learning about specific and relevant topics. As well, it will provide a space for board of directors and GM’s to actively engage with each other and DEI practitioners in regard to the practical application of inclusive practices. Together we will explore the issues and share our learnings through an exchange of ideas, listening and focused discussion.
The Inclusion Inspiration Lab will begin on April 23, 2025 and continue through August 2025. We will meet a total of 5 times from 4:00-6:00 pm EST on the 4th Wednesday of the months of April, May, June, August and September.
(Please note this Inspiration Lab is best suited for boards that have already done some of the foundational work necessary for inclusive practices to be sustained. Such practices include DEIB training for boards, identifying/naming your purposes regarding inclusion, and making a full and documented commitment to each other and the co-op to sustain this work. If you have not already engaged in this foundational work, contact us today to learn more about what this entails.)
Perhaps the greatest feature of this Inclusion Inspiration Lab is that YOU will help determine the agenda. That’s right, while we have ideas and topics that we may decide to cover, you will ultimately decide what we cover by telling us what is most important from your perspective for you to learn on your inclusion journey. We will support you by helping to curate a slate of presenters, resources, and practical examples, and by facilitating a highly interactive chat among friends and colleagues!
