There are many differences between culturally competent leaders and other leaders, but a major difference is their ability to welcome and serve their communities much more effectively.
CSW’s Cultural Competence Leadership Institute can help you gain information, skills, and insights, which in turn can help you:
• Analyze subtle and overt messages that organizations send about power, privilege, and culture
• Articulate the rationale to develop cultural competence throughout your organization
• Identify effective strategies to build cultural competence
• Discover and practice evidence-based quality improvement strategies for improving services
Longer term outcomes include:
• Developing action plans to implement positive change in your organization
• Improving staff and team development, service delivery, organizational environments, and community relationships
Join together with other motivated and committed leaders—sign up for CSW’s Cultural Competence Leadership Institute.
Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available with advance requests. Please contact Sue Hemling at [email protected] by March 31 with any questions or for more assistance.
