Culture isn’t what’s written on your website.
It’s what people experience when they walk through your doors.
If we want stronger teams, deeper donor relationships, and organizations where people truly belong, we have to examine the culture shaping those outcomes.
Join AFPKC for a dynamic, interactive session with
Dr. Angela Gist-Mackey, award-winning scholar and Associate Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas.
Dr. Gist-Mackey is a nationally recognized expert in organizational communication whose research explores power, social identity, stigma, and workplace culture. Her critically acclaimed scholarship has earned national awards, and her community-engaged partnerships with nonprofits and public organizations have helped teams identify cultural barriers and implement meaningful change.
Why this matters: Research shows organizations with inclusive cultures are twice as likely to meet financial targets, three times as likely to be high-performing, and six times more likely to be innovative. Culture directly impacts retention, collaboration, fundraising effectiveness, and mission delivery.
In this engaging session, you’ll:
-
Examine your organization’s culture through an IDEA lens
-
Engage in candid roundtable discussion with peers
-
Learn the five types of organizational cultures and assess where your organization currently falls
-
Identify practical strategies to cultivate a culture that advances inclusion, equity, access — and impact
This is not a surface-level conversation. Whether you are in leadership or early in your career, this session will challenge you to think more intentionally about how culture shapes your mission, your team, and your fundraising success
If you care about building organizations where people — and purpose — can thrive, this session is for you.
