Credit unions often approach and discuss Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) from an organizational perspective. Dr. Roberson extends the DEI discussion by inviting credit union leaders to ask themselves, what can we individually do to have a lasting and meaningful impact?
Building upon the framework established in her previous Filene report, Roadmap to Activating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which presents a model to achieving personal, operational, or organizational change, Dr. Roberson focuses on the personal pathway in this session. She covers DEI fundamentals and value proposition, provides a personal reflection activity to help you determine where you are on your DEI journey, offers evidence-based insights into what it means to be an inclusive leader, and highlights the practical skills you can build to move forward in your journey. Additionally, she addresses the pressing question of how do we maintain our momentum in our DEI journey in the face of current challenges?
