How Privilege, Race & Racism Influence Leadership & Culture: I'm a Good Person! Isn't that Enough?

Women Take the Floor, a Tour of the MFA Exhibition
28 October, 2020Women Take the Floor seeks to acknowledge and remedy systemic gender discrimination in art, including the MFAs inconsistent history in supporting women artists. By looking at 20th-century American art through the lens of modern-day feminism, which advocates for equity and intersectionality (the way an individuals race, class, gender and other identities combine and overlap), the MFA hopes to broaden the stories that are told during the yearlong commemoration of women's suffrage in 2020.
Nonprofits: Adapting to Change in a New Environment
29 October, 2020NonProfits today face significant challenges to adapt and survive. Covid-19, in particular, has required nonprofits to rethink their entire approach, from mission and governance to programs and fundraising. To survive, and even thrive, nonprofits need to adapt quickly, using the lessons that have been learned so far. Join us for a stimulating panel discussion about changing funding sources and requirements, new business models, and how to pivot quickly.
