The DEI Journey in Today’s Environment: A Discussion on the Strategic to the Tactical
PRESENTER:
Dorothy Chen-Courtin
Over the decades, despite frequent setbacks along the way, the DEI journey continued onwards and upwards. Then came the DEI wake-up call in January 2025: policy changes coming from the new administration impacted governmental agencies, businesses and nonprofits in multiple, and mostly negative ways.
At today’s session, we will explore the multi-faceted approaches non-profits have taken to analyze, adapt and then work to surmount these DEI challenges without compromising the core intent of their mission. The interdependencies of the three key players, i.e., governmental agencies, businesses, and nonprofits will be explored; we will seek the best ways to orchestrate this strategically. At the session, attendees are encouraged to share lessons learned as well as success stories across the performing arts and beyond.
