National League of Cities (NLC): Leadership Strategies for Racial Equity in Local Governance

The National League of Cities (NLC) is hosting a Leadership Strategies for Racial Equity in Local Governance virtual course starting Tuesday, September 10^th, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM.

This course supports local leaders to courageously tackle the essential work of advancing racial equity in American communities. Participants will develop a shared understanding of key concepts and terminology related to racial equity, discuss how government at all levels has served as both a barrier to and a champion for racial equity and explore how institutional and systemic racism continues to deny opportunity and justice for many communities. Leaders will form a Community of Practice to learn and test proven strategies and leadership behaviors for making racial equity a cross-cutting priority for their communities and local government. Through engaging presentations and group discussions with peers, plus office hours and one-on-one assistance from experts, participants will come away from the workshop energized, inspired, and ready to exercise a leadership role in racial equity in their communities. Join us to learn how you can help shape a more equitable future!
