Nonprofit Leadership and Racial Equity: Report from the Building Movement Project/Race to Lead Survey and Panel Discussion

February 23rd - 8:45 AM Program Start

Join at 8:30 for virtual coffee & catch-up

The nonprofit sector has a racial leadership gap. Studies have tracked the small percentage of people of color in Executive Director/CEO roles for years. Efforts to support and train and inspire and mold aspiring leaders of color are important…but they’re not enough to move the dial towards more diverse leadership.

Job Fair at Pace Law

Nonprofit Organizations are invited to participate in a virtual Job Fair at Pace Law on March 4-5, 2021. This Job Fair will allow you to interview Pace Law students for part-time or full-time summer opportunities (remote or in-person) as well as entry-level, post-graduate positions, all in one place. Positions need to offer at least partially legal work and oversight by an attorney is required.

Pace Law will collect resumes based on your preferences, send them to you for your review, and set up whatever interviews (via zoom) that you request. They will also schedule and facilitate zoom interviews on March 4^th from 4-6 and on March 5^th from 9-4pm. It is a difficult time for law students to get summer jobs due to the uncertainty surrounding all of our lives. 

Pace Law is happy to also post jobs right now and will send you resumes instead of waiting until March. Please email jbacker@law.pace.edu, Asst. Dean for Career and Professional Development, Pace University, Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
