Charting Excellence:  Empowering New Chief Diversity Officers for Success

Transitioning to a new Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) position is both exciting and challenging. Forging a path of transformational organizational change with increasing demands from multiple constituents, and often limited resources is no easy task. In addition to content expertise, your ability to succeed is dependent on continually increasing your capacity to navigate complexities while maintaining an authentic sense of self and an unwavering focus on the institutional mission. This session will tackle these realities and provide practical solutions for navigating your early years as a CDO.

So, You Want to Be a CDO

Becoming a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) in higher education is a far less linear progression than other executive positions in the academy. This session will cover a range of relevant CDO competencies, pathways to, and strategies for leading diversity, equity and inclusion and justice efforts at the institutional level.  Insights on what it means to serve in the C-Suite and work at the 30,000-foot level will be shared with participants seeking a CDO position as well as those who are currently doing the work without the title.


Afternoon Sessions, 1:00 – 5:00 pm PST

Campus Climate Assessment Retrospective:  Learning from the Past and Best Practices for the Future

In this session, Sue Rankin, Ph.D., will reflect on 25 years of campus climate assessment and research. She will examine what we have learned, where we are now, and how campus climate assessments can play a role in supporting students, staff and faculty in achieving academic, personal, and professional success.

Dismantling the ‘U.S. vs. Global” Dichotomy:  Creating Synergy Between Intercultural and Social Justice Approaches

U.S. higher education has structural barriers to holistically addressing complex global, multicultural and equity challenges.  In this session, Amer F. Ahmed, Ed.D., will explore opportunities to synergize intercultural education strategies in higher education with diversity and social justice strategies to help maximize impact.  The Intercultural Praxis Model as well as case examples will be utilized to facilitate strategic implementation.

Badges and Recordings

NADOHE requires all registrants to wear their badges for entry to conference sessions and may deny entrance to anyone without a badge. NADOHE prohibits recording conference sessions and discussions.

Wash. Rev. Code § 9.73.030 prohibits unannounced recording of others.


Attire/Comfort

NADOHE does not have a formal dress code or policy for annual conferences. Our members are leading voices for current and aspiring diversity leaders, and we honor their expertise to decide what is appropriate and professional attire. Conferences are unique opportunities to increase the possibilities for not only setting industry standards for relevant scholarship, but also exemplifying standards of practice. So rather than prescribe instructions on what to wear at our conferences, we invite attendees to incorporate traditional and/or cultural attire, consider local climates and cultural contexts, and prioritize comfort. Our desire is for each attendee to look and feel great about serving as preeminent voices for diversity officers in higher education. Above all, we want our attendees to choose attire that represents their individual styles and makes them feel confident to maximize the opportunities for development. Therefore, NADOHE welcomes all to dress for learning in a laboratory of scholarship, participating in meaningful professional development, and building solidarity within our community.

Cancellations must be made in writing and sent to annualconference@nadohe.org and are subject to a cancellation fee.
