In the news: Leadership collective to develop curriculum on racial justice
InBusinessPHX.com, August 4, 2021
A collective of leadership development organizations that work across the state have agreed to develop a shared curriculum focused on racial justice and equity.
The result stems from a year of conversations spurred on by the pandemic, the murder of George Floyd and many other people of color and the subsequent unrest and increase in hate crimes across America. The collective, comprised of American Express Leadership Academy at the ASU Lodestar Center, Arizona State University Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation, ASU Leadership Institute, Greater Tucson Leadership, Public Allies Arizona, Scottsdale Leadership, State of Black Arizona, Tempe Leadership and Valley Leadership, came together to identify how they could impact inequities and provide better resources to individuals interested in leading in the community. The resulting curriculum will be integrated in different formats throughout each organization’s programming, starting in 2022.
