This Thursday, December 10, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, the California Family Resource Association presents Building Equity in Networks. Led by Abby Charles, program director at the Institute for Public Health Innovation (IPHI), this web-based workshop will increase participants’ understanding of how equity shows up and can be meaningful in our organizations and the role of racial equity organization self-assessments in producing equitable organizations, programs, opportunities, processes and outcomes. Addressing inequities in communities requires us to intentionally assess and address racial equity in our organizations. The workshop will review using racial equity organization self-assessments to raise organizational and programmatic awareness, initiate conversations focused on racial equity, and contribute to the development of racial equity plans for Family Resource Centers, networks and the broader community.
Abby Charles provides leadership and coordination for IPHI’s Community Health Worker Initiatives. As one of IPHI’s lead trainers, she provides technical assistance and training to organizations regionally and nationally on health and racial equity and the integration of tools to promote equity in decision-making.
