GALEO INSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP (GIL)

The GLCDF has implemented the GALEO Institute for Leadership (GIL) to focus upon leadership development of the Latino community across our state. As part of the GALEO Institute for Leadership, we have formed a strategic partnership with the University of Georgia’s Fanning Institute to expand and develop our joint efforts for their Community Leadership Program

The curriculum being utilized for the GALEO Institute for Leadership will be the University of Georgia’s Fanning Institute 4th Edition CLP (revised 2006). The curriculum provides eight modules designed to assist participants in:

Becoming more knowledgeable about themselves, leadership practices and their communities;
Developing skills needed to assist them in becoming stronger community leaders;
Coming together to use their newly acquired knowledge and enhanced leadership skills to address community issues, needs, problems, and challenges;
Exercising leadership by engaging themselves in activities and undertaking projects to improve their communities.
The GIL currently consists of the Fanning Institute’s Community Leadership Program modules coupled with complementary activities to further promote the leadership development of our community leaders. Latinos are a growing segment of Georgia’s community and we have a responsibility to lead.

Data

  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
