SUMMARY:May 19 - 21: Interactive 2021 | Scaling Climate x Social Equity Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Interactive is Elemental Excelerator’s annual event where technology\, policy\, markets\, and community innovation across all systems at the root of climate change converge. It celebrates the leaders of this life-sustaining\, regenerative revolution — the expected and unexpected — through film\, deep conversation\, and inspired action. \nThousands of years ago\, the agricultural revolution led to massive land use change\, turning us from a hunter-gatherer people to a society of cultivation. Hundreds of years ago\, the industrial revolution brought us from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. We’ve been in the midst of a technological revolution over the last 50-100 years\, driven by computing and the internet. \nEach revolution ushered in enormous changes to our production patterns\, societal structures\, and lifestyles. Science tells us that we need to halve our emissions by 2030 to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. This will require another revolution – just as profound as the past three – to a regenerative\, life-sustaining economy. \nMay 19 | LEARN\n9:00 – 10:30 a.m. HT\nThe world premiere of a film on solutions at the nexus of climate change and social equity. \nMay 20 | SOLVE\n9:00 – 10:30 a.m. HT\nEach year\, we host a summit for 70+ entrepreneurs. It’s a joint learning experience to help them solve problems at hand. On Day 2 of Interactive\, we’re bringing that format to our whole community. As you RSVP\, indicate questions that are top of mind for you and we’ll host small group discussions around the top 10-15. Questions like how will corporate decarbonization will actually happen and what should entrepreneurs from traditionally excluded genders and ethnicities know about scaling startups keep us up at night. \nMay 21 | ACT\n9:00 – 10:00 a.m. HT\nFollowing two days of learning and solving\, how will you continue to drive solutions at the nexus of climate and social equity forward? For investors\, we are hosting a Dealflow Live. We’ll share insights that are informing our investment decisions and active investment opportunities within the Elemental portfolio.

SUMMARY:Leading for Equity Impact Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Leading for Equity Impact is a six-session workshop series that will invite participants to consider history\, race\, culture\, power\, and privilege through a national\, local\, and personal lens. Participants will grow their knowledge and understanding within their cohort\, moving from awareness to concrete actions that can advance the values of Hawaiʻi\, both in our personal relationships and as leaders and changemakers in our work and communities. \nThe series\, designed and facilitated by Ophelia Bitanga-Isreal\, Principal\, Integridad Consulting; Kuʻulani Keohokalole\, Principal\, People Strategies Hawaiʻi; and Joyce Lee-Ibarra\, Principal\, JLI Consulting\, is open to anyone who wants to learn more about how to create impact that leads to greater equity in Hawaiʻi. \n\n\nSession 1: And So We Begin: Building a Foundation. Develop a foundational understanding of concepts and challenges to meaningfully engage in addressing racial inequities. What are the ideas we agree on\, and what are the ones we struggle with? \n\n\nSession 2: Seeing Our Present in Our Past. Recognize how the history of racism and colonialism play out in our modern-day lives. \n\n\nSession 3: Holding Up a Mirror: Implicit Bias. Explore social norms held in place by implicit bias. How do these biases give power and privilege to some racial/ethnic groups over others? How do our notions about our own identities intersect with our implicit biases? \n\n\nSession 4: Different Window\, Same View: Power & Privilege. Consider the ways that\, even in Hawaiʻi–the most diverse state in the country–many institutions and organizational structures echo racialized power structures on the continent. How do structural racism and/or racist policies reinforce power and privilege dynamics locally? \n\n\nSession 5: Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion in Organizational Systems. Uncover organizational systems that are upholding the status quo and fostering inequitable workplaces. Use an equity framework and tools to closely examine your organizations and develop action plans to begin addressing inequities. \n\n\nSession 6: What Is An Ally? Active Anti-Racism & Social Justice. Move beyond “tolerance” and “appreciation” to taking action. Commit to continuous learning and improvement\, along with accountability measures\, to ensure that true individual and systemic change continues. \n\n\nSchedule \n9:30-11:30am each of the following dates in 2021: \n\n\nApril 14 \n\n\nQuestions?  Email Leading for Equity Impact at info@leadingforequityimpact.com.
