FOUNDATIONS FOR BUILDING A RACE EQUITY PLAN
Dates:
Part 1 - April 22
Part 2 - May 13
Time: 6-8PM
Admission: FREE for the entire EMACT community regardless of current membership status, so please feel free to inform all of your constituents - boards, members, actors, creative teams, and volunteers.
Please note: This is a TWO-PART series, so we strongly encourage attending both sessions if you are able.
In November 2020, EMACT's DEI Task Force surveyed our past, present, and future members to begin assessing how we can best help our community with equity and diversity issues. EMACT and the DEI Task Force reviewed the results of the survey, and because of the importance of the work, we have invited Michael J. Bobbitt, Executive Director, Mass Cultural Council to lead two virtual sessions on this important topic for EMACT.
Michael J. Bobbitt has dedicated his professional career to arts leadership. He is a director, choreographer, and playwright. On February 1, 2021 he joined Mass Cultural Council as Executive Director, becoming the highest ranking cultural official in Massachusetts. View his full bio here.
