Presented by: Karla Monterroso

Building and sustaining multiracial, multicultural institutions is one of the defining leadership challenges of our time. This session will introduce the seven levers of power, a framework for understanding how different kinds of power are claimed, shared, and deployed inside organizations and across the sector.

Our Voices Are Our Power.

Journalism, nonprofits, and multiracial democracy are under attack. At NPQ, we fight back by sharing stories and essential insights from nonprofit leaders and workers—and we pay every contributor.
