How can we elevate our missions, change our structures, and educate our staff and visitors about the urgency of equity work? In this session, panelists describe three organizations’ innovative approaches to working toward equity.

Learning Objectives:

• Become better able to articulate the ways that museums of different sizes, contexts, and foci have approached and been challenged by equity efforts.
• Develop ideas for action to support policies and practices that can promote inclusion and equity in your organization.
• Become better able to identify how your work or the work of your museum is related to issues of equity.
