Diversity in Development: A call to reflection & action has ended
2020 was a wake-up call for many that we need to be better at embracing diversity and social equity. As Christian organizations that are “in the business of addressing disparity”, this call to reflection and action is especially important for us to heed. That is why we are centering this year’s annual forum around issues of Diversity in International Development.

Join us on May 5 & 6 as we hear from Dr. Ken Muma, Onome Ako, and Dr. Terry LeBlanc and explore questions like:  How does someone from the Majority World experience “development” work?; Who is at the decision-making table and why is it even important?; and, Are there other ways of working that we have missed because of our cultural biases?

Board diversity matters--- not only social and professional diversity but diversity of thought. In this workshop, we will examine how cognitive conflict, when balanced with cohesiveness, can help boards and CEOs make better decisions and thereby govern more effectively. Several impediments to board-level critical thinking will be identified, and models will be described which may help CCRDA member organizations engage in more effective strategic decision-making.
