Join DEIAC and Dr. Destiny Thomas for a Discussion on Equity and the Future of Housing
NAHRO’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Committee presents a pointed and timely discussion on equity and the future of housing.
In recent months, the race and equity divide has penetrated the consciousness of many Americans across the country. The divide has triggered an unprecedented pandemic beyond that of COVID-19. We are in an equity pandemic that has considerable implications for our country and our communities abroad. Where does the housing industry land on the spectrum of historic and present day inequities? We are in a position to create systems change and innovate on how we address systems of oppression and divide.
Dr. Destiny Thomas, Ph. D., a cultural anthropologist, former city planner and CEO/Founder of the Thrivance Group will join this session as our guest panelist. Dr. Thomas is a leading strategist and thought leader on racial equity and implementation of the Dignity-Infused Community Engagement (DICE) methodology – a framework she developed to operationalize equity through policy, agenda setting, and resident engagement.
Join us for a discussion on how we become an industry of the future, positioned to create communities for all.
