Thank you for attending yesterday’s discussion on Leader’s of Madison’s Black Renaissance. It was a difficult discussion yesterday. A major topic was staff feeling they have a safe space where they can talk about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging without being criticized or judged. Yesterday that safe space was violated a few times and for that we are truly sorry. The leadership of NewBridge is committed to continuing to build an inclusive, open culture for our staff, volunteers and participants. Moving forward we will reiterate and enforce the ground rules and possibly bring in someone to moderate our discussions. We encourage staff to reach out to myself or Katie if you want to discuss further.
