Webinar Description:
Mt. Hood Community College located east of Portland, Oregon, is the most economically-depressed and culturally diverse part of the state. Situated in the east suburb of Gresham, the surrounding community has changed dramatically since the college’s founding. Over time we have built a planning culture to effectively and strategically advance the mission of the college to meet the needs of our growing and diverse community. This interactive session will provide actionable strategies to create and implement an equity-centered strategic plan.
This session will be most helpful for organizations and professionals who:
• Have a strategic plan in place that is not centered on equity, but would like to create one
• Have an equity plan that is not integrated with the holistic organizational plan
• Have struggled with plan implementation for equity and inclusion
• Have struggled to develop measurable equity goals and metrics within the planning process
• Have struggled to implement systemic inclusive, equity-driven change
This session will be most beneficial to administrators, trustees, practitioners, and senior diversity officers who have a responsibility to set the vision for and advance the mission of the organization through strategic planning within an equity framework.
