Business isn't just about numbers; it's about connections, shared experiences, and the bond we form with others on the same journey. From the little boosts we get from understanding peers to the big leaps from collaborations, community plays a vital role. Let me know about a time when your community was your unsung hero. Let's celebrate our collective strength!  #UnsungHeroes #BusinessAndBonds

Board Governance & Cultural Humility The Role of Cultural Humility in Fostering Long-Term Success for Nonprofit Organizations Thursday, May 30, from 1 PM to 2:30 PM (Virtual) | $25-$45 This session will explore how cultural humility is crucial for board governance in the longevity of a nonprofit's success by exploring the difference between #cultural_competency and #cultural_humility and sharing how nonprofit boards can navigate cultural dynamics through empathy. We will also discuss cultural arrogance, centering voices, representation -- do we have representation just for representation's sake? -- and application for cultural humility for long-term success. Objectives Clarify the distinction between cultural competency and cultural humility. Identify whose voices are being centered and whose voices may be excluded in board discussions and decision-making. Encourage participants to apply cultural humility principles within their board roles for more impactful and sustainable governance.
