  • 1.  Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training

    Posted 07-19-2018 12:46 PM
    Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or contacts for a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion speaker or trainer. Our museum is located in the DC area and this training would be for our staff and volunteers. ​Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Our firm hosted Lynell Cadray, vice provost at Emory University. She presented to our team and twice to the local AFP chapter. Good reviews all around, and a reasonable fee <g class="gr_ gr_156 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="156" data-gr-id="156">given</g> a full day and travel to/from Atlanta.

    I don't know about his availability right now, but you may want to reach out to Omar Eaton-Martinez. Email me at sjencks@fords.org, and I can connect the two of you.

    I would recommend Gwen Crider. She is a Diversity & Inclusion Strategist, and leader of the Crider Group. She is a and former museum professional/Executive Director located in the Washington, DC area. Here is her email address- GwenCrider@outlook.com . We (as in my organization, the Association of Science-Technology Centers) recently used her company to facilitate our internal cultural competency training.
