Listen to a real conversation with co-hosts Carl Newbanks and Marie Ruzek about diversity, equity and inclusion, specifically in Greater Minnesota. Liz Cheney, Director of Philanthropy from Southwest Initiative Foundation, located in Hutchinson, MN, shares a recent experience leaning into an equity conversation with a donor. These conversations are imperative to our organizations’ missions, for our neighbors, each other and a more just world where each person feels a sense of belonging. They will be uplifting, bumpy, draining, and are not optional. If this was useful, please share it with your network.
