A New Way Forward Series
Oregon Food Bank began their journey 8 years ago to incorporate equity, diversity, and inclusion principles and practices into every aspect of their work. Today, they have a traditional governance board, however their governance board has delegated all decision making authority over their public policy agenda to a group of people with living experience of hunger, called the Policy Leadership Council. Come hear from Oregon Food Bank CEO (and long time food banker) Susannah Morgan about their journey, dig into other practical examples of what DEI in the nonprofit space looks like in practice, get inspired as to how Boards can adapt their work to include people most impacted, and ask your burning questions.
