Advancing equity is core to achieving collective impact, but how does leadership prepare to address equity and structure an initiative to ensure equity is at the center?
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the concept of social equity, tools for organizing collaborative thinking and work on equity, and strategies and activities for embedding equity into collective impact initiatives. This workshop will also go over key building blocks for equity-focused work as well as explore resources and practices to support equity work, including organizational equity assessments, equity impact analysis, and targeted universalism.
This session includes both a half-day workshop on September 29 and a one-hour office hour with workshop faculty to answer further questions on September 30.
Lead Faculty: Junious Williams, Senior Advisor, Collective Impact Forum

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for this workshop? Please visit our registration site to join the full series or a single workshop.
Is this workshop in-person or online? This is an online workshop. We will be using Zoom Meeting for this session.
What will this workshop entail? This 3.5 hour workshop on September 29 will include a mix of presentation, Q&A, and small group discussions. There will be a short break planned during the workshop.

In the days ahead of the workshop, we will send out copies of any workshop presentations or handouts. After the workshop, we will share recordings of the workshop presentation, participant Q&A, and faculty office hour.
If I attended the Champions for Change workshop in prior years, should I join the Essentials series? The Essentials series has similar content to past Champions for Change workshops. If you have attended past Champions for Change workshops, we would recommend Essentials if you are looking for a refresher of that content, or as a new learning opportunity for your teammates or partners. If you are not looking for a refresher, but for a completely new learning experience, we recommend our annual Action Summit instead. The 2023 Action Summit will be held April 24-April 27, 2023.
What’s the difference between the Full Series and Single Workshop registration? If you are signing up for the full Essentials workshop series, you are signing up for all four workshops, including the faculty office hours that are part of each one. If you sign up for a single workshop in the series, you will be just registering for that specific workshop and related office hour.
Will workshops be recorded? The workshop presentations and faculty office hours will be recorded and shared after the workshop with those who registered. Breakout group discussions that occur during each workshop will not be recorded. Recordings will be shared within one week of the workshop.
Can my whole team sign-up with one registration? No. Each person will require their own registration as this is an active workshop where attendees will be broken up into small groups throughout the workshop time to discuss learning questions during the session.
Are there Group Rates available? Single workshops in the Essentials series do not have a group discount. If you have 10 or more people interested in registering for the complete Essentials series of all four workshops ($595), there is a 10% discount available. Please contact Christopher Pulido at christopher@detailsbycp.com to access this discount.
How do I cancel my registration and request a refund? All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing. Registered participants who decide to cancel their participation, in either the full workshop series or a single workshop, will receive a refund of their registration fee minus a 10% processing fee. The 10% fee covers non-recoupable administrative and credit card processing expenses associated with registration and event preparation. All refund requests should be emailed to christopher@detailsbycp.com. We are unable to process refunds after the refund deadlines detailed below.
