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 />One of the priorities of the Board of Directors has been to educate <br />ourselves about systemic racism and to make SV more accessible and <br />inclusive. This spring three of our staff members and three of our Board <br />members attended the OCAC DEIA training with Aisha Adams. W e will be <br />sharing information from the training with the board members who have not <br />been able to participate. In 2020, supported by a grant from W omen in Bio, <br />Leandra and one of the board members attended The Racial Equity <br />Institute workshop Phase 1. Leandra went on to attend Phase 2 which <br />focused on organizational structure. In addition, all staff and board <br />members have been encouraged to read the book “Caste” by Isabel <br />W ilkerson and to listen to the podcast “Seeing W hite” from Scene on Radio <br />produced by John Biewen at the Center for Documentary Studies. W e <br />continue to seek resources and to work to strengthen the diversity of our <br />board and staff to increase our understanding and ability to offer equitable <br />and accessible programming for our community. <br />The training with Adams has been an excellent addition to the foundation <br />course offered by the REI. Adams provided very clear and practical <br />information about how to do the work of "advancing social change" in our <br />organization with a task force and external audit that lead to prioritizing, <br />planning, tracking and measuring. <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 273186007.0 <br />Organization <br />W ebsite <br />www.sistersvoices.org <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Name <br />Leandra Strope <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Title <br />Artistic Director <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Phone <br />919-619-3438 <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Email <br />leandra@sistersvoices.org <br />Applicant Race W hite <br />Financial Overview <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 200AB7AA-A897-4845-886C-92CE8C1C9EF5
