THE MARYLAND EQUITY & INCLUSION
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 2019 PROGRAM
Program Aims to Make Organizations More
Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive for All
The Maryland
Equity & Inclusion Leadership Program (MEILP) is now accepting applications
for the 2019 program, after a highly successful program launch in 2017. For
more information and to submit your application, please visit http://meilp.ubalt.edu. Interested
candidates can take advantage of the August 20, 2018 early application deadline.
All final applications are due by September 17, 2018.
About the Program
A partnership of
the Maryland
Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR) and the University of
Baltimore Schaefer Center for Public Policy, MEILP aims to develop, engage,
and support current and emerging leaders from private, public, and nonprofit
sectors who are interested and committed to helping their organizations become
more diverse, equitable, and inclusive at various levels. This program is ideal
for developing and experienced professionals who want to design, lead, and
promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within their
respective organizations.
For
those considering applying, one graduate from last year’s inaugural class
summed up their experience as: "I’ve always been an advocate of diversity, equity and
inclusion. To actually go through formal education on it has really opened my
eyes to things I did not even know about before. The networking has been
fabulous, the education has been top notch, and I’m looking forward to taking
all of this back to my agency and being a diversity, equity and inclusion
advocate going forward, in an upward hill battle."
Program
participants will learn from and network with DEI industry experts, experienced
practitioners, scholar-researchers, and their peers to gain a deep and
comprehensive understanding of various DEI issues facing individuals, groups,
organizations, and whole communities, including best practices and
evidence-based strategies for addressing these issues.
