AWC is pleased to bring you a five-part series of online trainings created specifically for elected officials—join one or join them all! Each installment in the Elected Officials Essentials (EOE) series is designed to equip you with comprehensive tools to support your impact as a leader and addresses each of the five competencies of AWC’ Certificate of Municipal Leadership program.
Studies have shown that implicit bias, or unconscious bias as it is sometimes known, affects everyone and is part of the human condition. But implicit biases are not permanent; they are malleable and can be changed. Join this webinar designed to deepen your understanding of implicit bias, how it influences decision-making, and what resources are available to address and reduce the negative impact of implicit bias.
- Explore the meaning of implicit bias and how it can impact your role at city hall
- Learn to recognize and understand your own biases
- Discover strategies for increasing accountability while minimizing the impact of implicit bias interventions
