Past Events: Cambridge Serves
Building an Inclusive Board
Unable to attend Cambridge Serves? No worries! Watch video recordings of Building an Inclusive Board. The first video is from guest speakers Marguerite A. Fletcher, the President of Fletcher Consulting, LLC. She is a diversity consultant, keynote speaker and facilitator, skilled at leading workshops on a variety of topics such as Unconscious Bias Awareness, Interrupting Bias, and Managing Diverse Teams. A favorite at law schools and corporations, Marguerite regularly speaks on issues relating to diversity, inclusion, unconscious bias and cultural competence. Marguerite is the Chair of the Board of YW Boston and has been active for many years with the Boston Bar Association
Our second video is from Ceasar L. McDowell, professor of the Practice of Civic Design at MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning and Special Advisor to MIT’s Media Lab. His work is focused on the design of civic infrastructures and processes that can support our increasingly demographically complex public to struggle with traditions that bind and the interests that separate in order to build a future that is an equitable improvement on the past.
Equity in Volunteering
A feature of volunteerism is that it brings people together across social divides. Those exceptional opportunities also expose social inequity. How can volunteering work against it? We invited agency leaders, volunteer managers and volunteers to address this complex, thorny issue together. After hearing from our panelists, we discussed how we can advance equity in volunteer recruitment, training and interaction with program clients. All participants will be invited to collaborate further in 2021 on a citywide “road map” towards equity in volunteering.
