Inclusive Leadership Development for WEVA Members

Wedding and Event Vendor Alliance is very pleased to share that we were awarded a grant by the VT Changemakers Table program, a collaboration between the Vermont Community Foundation and Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility! WEVA is truly honored and grateful to receive this award and the board decided to invest the funds into Anti-racism and Inclusion Education for our members!

To support our members in their commitment to DEIA education and leadership skills, we’re happy to announce that WEVA members now have special access to classes in Crystal Whiteaker’s Inclusive Leadership Development Masterclasses! (crystallily.co)

If you’re a new or existing WEVA member, you can take advantage of the special access link INSIDE the Member Login Area on our website..

We’re proud to be able to provide resources and opportunities for event professionals so that you can put your values into action.

Crystal Lily Creative, believes in empowering leaders by helping them create the tools they need to form relationships that support their growth and their purpose, without sacrificing integrity. Course Topics Include:

• Building Aligned Relationships

• Our Roles in Creating Inclusive Environments

• How to Be An Inclusive, Inspiring Leader

• How to Incorporate Inclusive Language into Your Messaging

• How to Manage Discomfort When Disrupting and Identifying Bias

We want to HIGHLY encourage everyone to schedule some time to dive into these lessons over the upcoming weeks because we’re going to be inviting members to sit down with Crystal in the new year for some additional LIVE support!

Anti-racism and Inclusion work doesn’t happen in isolation—you can’t do it alone! Increasing equity and inclusion requires a community so that we can learn from each other’s lived experiences.

Thanks for being here in community with us!
