How to succeed at DEI: Ronald McDonald House Houston's special sauce

After George Floyd’s murder, nonprofits across the country realized they needed to address diversity, equity, and inclusion. Some actually meant it. Ronald McDonald House Houston was determined to make a difference, not just for their staff but for their families across the world who needed a safe space. What does it mean to truly commit to DEI practices? What are the alternatives? How does a nonprofit organization find the will to take the long view? On November 26, 2022, three members of Ronald McDonald House Houston (RMH) who were instrumental in implementing its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative presented their results to date at the 29th annual Power Tools for Nonprofits Conference, sponsored by CenterPoint Energy, United Way, and the University of Houston Downtown. Presenters were Cristina Vetrano (CEO), Philip Tenenbaum (Board member), Cheronda Rutherford (chair of DEI staff committee), and Jean Latting (consultant). #leadership #Dei #ronaldmcdonaldhouse #RonaldMcDonaldHouseCharities --------------------------------------------------------- Conversations with forward-thinking leaders about patterns that keep us stuck and how the leaders are breaking the mold.
