A Member Driven Organization: The Action Continuum Revisited & Revisioned

This is the third and final presentation related to the topic of Power and Privilege and focuses on our individual and collective responsibility to recognize when it is creating barriers to relationship and institutional effectiveness, and how and when to respond to the impact of those barriers. The goal of this session is to equip participants with strategies they can employ to effectively address the implications of power and privilege when it leads to barriers that limit our capacity for success and collaboration. Following this presentation, participants will discuss the application of strategies to their individual and collective experience. Each group will offer strategic recommendations for how RID can reduce the negative implications associated with Power and Privilege imbalances and achieve greater equity for members and consumers.
