If you're a nonprofit leader or social entrepreneur and you don't have a stated position on diversity, equity, and inclusion, you are behind the times. This miniseries here in the first quarter of the year will help us wrap our collective heads around what these mean to our organizations, our communities, and ourselves.
I'm going to address these three ideas separately in conversations with people who have unique perspectives on these concepts.
First up is "Inclusion." I had a broad conversation with Jonathan Pitts, former executive director of Chicago Improv Productions, who has spent the last couple of years on a global improv "walkabout," with no signs of settling down anytime soon.
We put a definition to the word inclusion, Jonathan shared a mistake he made early in his career when it came to being more inclusive, and we talked about what "belonging" means in the world today.
If you'd like to contact Jonathan wherever he is in the world, you can find him through his Facebook profile.
