Membership organizations have been experiencing a transformation for the past several years. To remain relevant and experience growth it is crucial that programs are reviewed and innovated for effectiveness and that members know the tangible benefits they receive from being part of the organization’s community. Transparency and engagement of Board members and adhering to strong financial management controls are mandatory. We refer specifically to race, class, equity, and power—rather than diversity, equity, and inclusion—so that we might speak candidly about topics that conversations centered on DE&I sometimes skirt around. Our goal at Cardinal Change is to pair symbolism with substance at every opportunity and to transform organizations. When practices and priorities align with an institution's stated values, it fuels growth, engenders employee loyalty, and strengthens the entire organization. Contact us to learn how we can help.
