SUMMARY:New Glasgow Community Conversations: Creating Welcoming Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:Join Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS) for a community conversation in Nova Scotia’s New Glasgow at Ignite Atlantic\n\n\nCommunity Conversations: Community Conversations: Creating Welcoming Workplaces\n  \nJoin Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS) for a community conversation! \nThis event will provide a chance to connect impact organizations (non-profits and charities)\, learn about how IONS defines “Welcoming Workplaces” and why they are important\, and leave with some resources and next steps to help you make your organization more welcoming. \nBecoming a Welcoming Workplace is not something that can happen overnight. It requires time\, conversation\, and intentional effort from all levels of your organization – from the board to your volunteers and everyone in between. We hope to support organizations to identify what is needed to create a workplace that is welcoming for them by sharing our story\, best practices we have found\, and providing tools to support the work needed. \nThis workshop is for you if you work in the Community Impact Sector (non-profit sector)\, are an existing or new organization\, and are looking for a chance to spend some time in the community to recharge\, learn and share experiences\, and think about how equitable policies lead to more impact. \nPart of the event will be small table activities\, allowing you to dive into questions\, idea sharing\, and conversations that you may have on what it means to create a welcoming workplace. \nThe work you do is essential – your voices matter\, and we know that this work is hard. This session is also meant to be collaborative\, energizing\, and a helpful next step forward! \n  \nParticipants will leave with:\n\nA deeper understanding of how to define welcoming workplaces\nExamples of activities and changes that they are already doing (or can be doing in the short term) to move toward this change\nMore clearly articulated needs of your own organization regarding creating a welcoming environment\nKnowledge sharing and strengthened relationships with your peers in Nova Scotia’s Community Impact Sector\nAn invitation to become more connected with IONS on work that supports our collective capacity and voice\n\n  \nNote: Registration opens at 12:30 and we hope to start promptly at 1pm. Coffee\, tea and snacks will be provided. \n  \nMasking and COVID-19 Considerations\nWith the winter season upon us it is no surprise that COVID\, colds and illnesses are on the rise.
