We are dedicated to expanding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) within the nonprofit sector. We believe in the power of harnessing and learning from our differences in order to transform individuals, organizations, and societies.
Our goal is to create a just and equitable world for all. We do this by driving systemic change and centering the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our and our clients’ work. We commit to a lifelong journey of learning, growth, and collaboration.
Celebrating Diversity, Ensuring Equity, and Fostering Inclusion starts with leadership. At LaTosch Consulting, we stand committed to supporting leaders in their growth journey.
Recruiting and hiring are often a first step. Creating an inclusive environment builds a stronger team and stronger organization over the long run.
There are a number of steps to take in order to shift your internal culture toward one that respects and values unique perspectives and experiences:
Clear communication is the cornerstone of inclusive growth. Keep your organization informed and energized through consistent communication, building transparency, trust, and authenticity.
These strategies empower your organization to thrive in an inclusive environment.
Below are three first steps which will give any nonprofit organization a solid beginning for creating an actionable diversity, equity and inclusion plan. If you’ve already begun this work, you may be able to self-facilitate these steps, however using a skilled consultant will help you mitigate the effects of internal power dynamics, identify potential pain points and ensure a smoother, more timely process.
A group of committed individuals will keep the work moving forward.
Facilitate a series of three short conversations to help members of your organization get clarity on what important DEI terms mean and why they are important to your mission.
Conduct a DEI Audit to learn about the current climate within your organization and identify suggestions for change.
