When DEI Goes Awry – A Candid Case Study + Conversation

We’ll unpack a powerful case study:

 A mid-sized nonprofit brought in a DEI trainer to engage staff around diversity, equity, and inclusion. The staff had some racial and identity diversity, a DEI plan was in place, and leadership thought they were ready. But one comment during the training caused tension, harm, and ultimately, a terminated contract. So… what went wrong? And what could’ve gone right?

Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, board member, DEI practitioner, or curious human who wants to learn how to do better—we want your voice in the room. Let’s learn together, not just the easy lessons, but the hard ones too.
