The Executive Director <br />participated in the NC Center for Nonprofit conference and BoardLead training both <br />focused on racial equity in regards to board development and community needs. The <br />tools and information gleaned from those workshops are being incorporated in our <br />DEI committee plans and strategic planning we are starting this month. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: F9E3EFAB-16FA-4281-B2B8-12C1DD0C3608
