As a country, we are living through a new chapter of the civil rights era. NLADA members and partners must be equipped with the cutting edge and innovative tools needed to actively and effectively address race equity issues in their offices, courtrooms, policy tables, and in the community. The NLADA Race Equity in Action will actively support the transition from racial equity awareness to ACTION and IMPLEMENTATION.
Towards those goals, NLADA Racial Equity in Action will focus on three key strategies to eradicate racial inequity on the individual, organizational, and systemic levels. The Initiative will:
We seek to train and equip individuals with the tools to unleash courageous leadership within their organizations and communities. Through NLADA leadership training, we will build a community of leaders who embrace shared purpose and operationalize effective 21st century leadership skills to drive this country towards racial equity.
Our members will receive tools and strategies to shift from addressing the symptoms of structural racism to tackling its root causes and eliminating racial inequities.
We will collaborate with our private sector community to collectively move America’s institutions, systems, and policies toward equity.
