Why Choosing Each Other is The Way to Go... DESCRIPTION:This session explores the purpose and function of DEIB+ (Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, Belonging\, and related practices)\, with particular attention to distinguishing inclusion from belonging.

Participants will also reflect on the values that exist beneath common DEIB+ language and social trends\, identifying practical\, sustainable actions that foster meaningful relationships and strengthen cultures of belonging in their communities and organizations. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

This practical webinar will explore how organizations with limited evaluation capacity can move beyond reporting outputs alone and begin framing meaningful outcomes using information they may already collect. Participants will learn simple\, accessible strategies for connecting everyday program data to broader community impact\, research-supported outcomes\, and even potential economic value. Through real-world examples and straightforward tools\, the session will demonstrate how nonprofits can tell a stronger story about mission effectiveness without investing in expensive evaluation systems. Designed especially for small and mid-sized organizations\, this webinar will help leaders communicate impact more clearly to funders\, boards\, donors\, and community partners. Participants will leave with practical ideas they can begin applying immediately within their own organizations. \nOne and a Half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).
