Has your <br />organization <br />undergone any <br />Diversity, Equity, and <br />Inclusion (DEI) <br />training? If so, <br />please explain. If not, <br />please explain any <br />barriers that have <br />prevented you from <br />receiving this <br />training. <br />NC AIA has examined our own practices and committed to actions <br />that address systemic bias and anti-racism in our structure and <br />programming. W e also held a Div ersity, Equity and Inclusion <br />workshop for all staff and board members last year, and three board <br />members participated in additional training through the Executiv e <br />Corps of the Triangle and the Triangle Community Foundation. <br />NC AIA is guided by our belief that all children deserv e the <br />opportunity to succeed in life. Equity, div ersity and inclusion are the <br />cornerstones of our work. W e stand with our Black, Latino, Asian and <br />Multi-Cultural families, and demand that systems of racial inequities, <br />which oppress and traumatize communities of color in our country, <br />be corrected. Arts and education are key parts of the solutions to <br />ov ercoming inequality. W hen children are giv en the same support <br />and tools for growth and achiev ement, are taught to honor div ersity, <br />and are giv en models of integrity and inclusion to look up to, they <br />discov er their own potential and respect the potential of those <br />around them. <br />NC AIA prioritizes education on Equity, Div ersity and Inclusion within <br />our organization with support from experts in the field. W e want to <br />help our students, staff and board be an activ e part of the solution to <br />our problems in inequalities. One of our goals at NC AIA is to hav e <br />organizational leaders that reflect the population we serv e. For <br />example, our Executiv e Director is Latino and our Senior Teaching <br />Artist is African American. W e look for both div ersity and talent when <br />we fill in important roles within our organization. Our Dev elopment <br />Director is Southeast Indian and our Project Manager, who directs <br />our afterschool program is also African American. At NC AIA we also <br />focus on the fair treatment of ev eryone regardless of race to create <br />equitable opportunities and outcomes for all. W e track this goal by <br />making sure that as an organization we reflect the population we <br />serv e and we make it a priority to hear and include people of color as <br />aspects of our organizational decisions. <br />During FY22-23, will <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />No <br />Organization's EIN 203029784.0 <br />Organization <br />W ebsite <br />https:// www.ncartsinaction. org <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Name <br />Marlon Torres <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 375CB681-DA09-4299-B189-020A0CE5EBE5
