Open to anyone in the nonprofit world – including those who work in New Mexico and across the United States, whether you’re a trustee, volunteer, staff, or donor – who would like to learn about racism in the sector and more importantly, do something about it.
We require participants to commit to all 8 sessions that will occur September 10 – December 17, 2021:
The COVID-19 pandemic, police brutality, and racial justice protests of the last year have exposed a larger audience to the inequities that are woven into the fabric of the US. To the surprise of some, and the lived reality of most, this includes the systemic racism and other interconnected systems of oppression that are present in the nonprofit sector.
This program was created as an opportunity to collectively examine and identify inherent injustices in US systems, while rethinking the potential of the sector to move forward, centering equity and dismantling white dominant culture. Our Facilitation Team will lead this 8-session program to unravel the systemic racism of the nonprofit sector, and guide and motivate leaders to transform the sector for more equitable systems and distributed power.
This is open to anyone working in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector – board members, volunteer teams, staff, program officers, donors – anyone who wants to both learn about racism in the sector AND do something about it.

This team of skilled facilitators has been working together since 2017. Vicki Pozzebon and Everette Hill are longtime colleagues and friends who share a deep commitment to transforming communities for the better by transforming leaders. Everette co-designed and co-facilitates the Emerging Leaders program at Santa Fe Community Foundation – a program that has graduated over 100 nonprofit leaders in New Mexico – with Vicki.
Eileen Everett and Kourtney Andar are alumni of the Emerging Leaders Program and joined the facilitation team in 2019 to help grow the program. Both work in nonprofit leadership positions which means they bring unique skills and passion for transformational leadership to the facilitation team, having both experienced this work themselves.
Rachel (Rae) Miller joined Prospera Partners as an associate consultant and facilitator and leads all of the company’s facilitated programs. Vicki and Rae have worked together in systems change transformation since 2007.
With input from dozens of alumni of the Emerging Leaders program, the Prospera Partners team decided it was a natural next step to offer a deep dive program that addresses systemic racism in the nonprofit sector. The Facilitation Team is, as Kourtney Andar describes it, “a group of skilled professionals who have become family through this work.” Learn more.
