Conversation Project: Beyond Invitation

How Do We Create Inclusive Communities?

February 22, 2018 | 5:30 p.m. | Springfield City Hall

225 Fifth St., Springfield OR 97477

Organizations and communities are working to invite broader groups of people to engage in their work as employees, patrons, board members, and donors. Having a statement at the end of a job announcement to encourage communities of color, queer people, and women to apply can be a start, but how do policies, environment, and culture support this invitation? How do they fail to support it? How do you know if a space is inclusive and accessible for all, and is such a goal even possible? What do you do about the tension between people who have different needs to feel included? Join Rachel Bernstein to explore what it takes to make the shift from invitation to inclusion.

This event will take place in the Library Meeting Room at Springfield City Hall.
