How Far We’ve Come: What’s Working and What Isn’t

Webinar #3 of the Catalyst Learning Series EDI Lessons from the Field

Originally recorded April 26, 2022

What does equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) look like at an orchestra that is far along their EDI journey? What progress lies ahead as we continue in the work? The more we learn and grow, the bigger our imagination of what is possible expands. In the world of EDI, our collective consciousness continues to become refined and best practices improve from one year to the next.

In this final 60-minute Catalyst Webinar, we discuss with the Detroit Symphony what it means to go the distance in this work with a renewed sense of purpose and vision for what the future may hold.

Speaker: Caen Thomason-Redus, Community Catalyst/Senior Director of Community & Learning, Detroit Symphony, and incoming Vice President, Inclusion and Learning, League of American Orchestras

Moderator: McKensie Mack, Founder and CEO, MMG
