Panel 1 — Roadmaps: Charting Paths to Organizational Accountability

This panel is part of the Truth & Transformation Conference 2023, hosted by the Instructional Antiracism and Accountability Project (IARA). Every organization has unique needs and values shaping its path to accountability. As the racial equity field grows, there is an expanding range of resources to inform the process of antiracist change. In this session, we’ll focus on a common starting point: roadmaps. This panel will feature advocates with years of experience establishing systems for accountability in their own organizations. From launching new initiatives to shifting internal operations, they will exchange tactics for building accountability, answering: Which strategies generate the strongest organizational change? What are the best indicators of effective strategies? And, how do you stay the course long-term?

Speakers: Lorenzo Herrera y Lozano, Chitra Kumar, Dr. Aletha Maybank
