Cultural Competency and Humility (NEW), Oct. 26, 2023, from 1-3 PM ET
Presenter: Michelle Doerr
2-hour webinar | $30

Cultural competency and humility are required for all aspects of life and work when we care about diversity, inclusion and belonging. Our awareness, knowledge, and skills in understanding different cultures is key to engaging with more diverse audiences. We must understand our own lenses to the world and be clear on where our assumptions about others might affect our approaches to hiring, relevancy, working with constituents and partners, and improving internal work culture, just to name a few. In this webinar, we’ll touch on the differences between cultural competence and cultural humility and what it means for the work in conservation.
