ProNet Stands Committed to Racial Equity and Justice
This is a crucial moment in time, and our work will not waver going forward. We are fully committed to working with our ProNet community to address racial injustice and exploitation of our neighbors of color. As program officers that are actively engaged in our local communities, we have a moral and ethical responsibility to do so. The ProNet Steering Committee has provided action items and resources to guide our work to take a stand against racial injustice.
We are striving to create a diverse board. If you would like to self-nominate, or nominate someone from your organization, please email: Trudy Hughes (thughes@etf.org) or Tom Linfield (tlinfield@madisongives.org)
Please use the following resources on racial equity and how you can bring this to your own organization. If you have any resources you found to be helpful, please email ideas to: contact@pronetcf.org
If you are not familiar with ProNet, The Program Network (or ProNet) is a professional organization for community foundation program staff, board members and other staff members interested in program-related issues.
