Allied Folk will be a presenting speaker at the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits annual conference event! Please follow the MCN Conference link here for more information about the event. Our session “Red Flags: Disrupting DEI Harm” is detailed below:

“As DEI demands continue to accelerate in workplaces everywhere, the effort required to make progress is not distributed equitably. Training budgets continue to soar as U.S. companies spend $8 billion per year on DEI, yet the implementation of practices and ideation advancing strategic planning falls on the shoulders of those most impacted. Marginalized employees have been asking for the same basic dignities in the workplace for generations, but only recently started getting "invited to the table” for conversations about workplace culture.

Being a subject matter expert can be taxing when emotional labor is high and compensation is low. This session will address the conflict of wanting to influence change, while needing to maintain self-preservation. Together we will learn to identify DEI red flags, how to respond, and center our well-being throughout it all. Come to learn how to disrupt without sacrifice, keeping ourselves whole as we co-create spaces everyone deserves.”
