by | Mar 11, 2015 | 0 comments

The need for culturally competent leaders is critically important. And though attaining cultural competence does not occur in the short term, its long-term impact is beneficial for the entire community.

Community Shares of Wisconsin (CSW) is hosting a Cultural Competence Leadership Institute for nonprofit organizations, individuals, and businesses. This is a two-day, 16-hour leadership development opportunity with curriculum designed to help leaders reflect, analyze, and prepare for intentional professional and organizational growth—especially in terms of serving diverse groups with a high degree of competence.

Location: Goodman Community Center
Date: Monday and Tuesday, April 20-21
Time: 8:30 am – 4:30 pm each day
Cost: $160; discounted to $130 for multiple people from an organization

There are many differences between culturally competent leaders and other leaders, but a major difference is their ability to welcome and serve their communities much more effectively.

CSW’s Cultural Competence Leadership Institute can help you gain information, skills, and insights, which in turn can help you:
• Analyze subtle and overt messages that organizations send about power, privilege, and culture
• Articulate the rationale to develop cultural competence throughout your organization
• Identify effective strategies to build cultural competence
• Discover and practice evidence-based quality improvement strategies for improving services

Longer term outcomes include:
• Developing action plans to implement positive change in your organization
• Improving staff and team development, service delivery, organizational environments, and community relationships
Join together with other motivated and committed leaders—sign up for CSW’s Cultural Competence Leadership Institute.

Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available with advance requests.  Please contact Sue Hemling at shemling@communityshares.com by March 31 with any questions or for more assistance.

Attend the Pre-training Organizational Assessment
April 7, 12:30 – 2:00

Teams are invited to make the most of this professional development event by completing a pre-training self-assessment. The tool guides internal stakeholders through a process of examining the organizational environment, exploring community collaboration and governance/leadership, and focusing in on service delivery data and processes. To learn more about this tool and how you and your team can use it to assess areas of capacity and opportunity for growth, join the trainers for a pre-assessment conference call. Participants may also attend in-person (space limited).

Please contact shemling@communityshares.com if you are interested in attending this free event.
