Speaker(s): Pratichi Shah, President and CEO, Flourish Talent Management Solutions and Member of the Board of Directors, League of American Orchestras.

Why make an inclusive culture a top priority for your orchestra? When people are truly valued and included, they feel more engaged, are supported to reach their full potential, and naturally contribute their best to your organization.

In this interactive session, you'll explore practical strategies and hear real-world examples from orchestras of all sizes that are building positive, inclusive workplaces for musicians, staff, and board members, no matter their race or gender.

Walk away with actionable insights that will help you create a supportive environment where every person in your organization feels connected, valued, and aligned with your mission.

This session will highlight the work of orchestras featured in the League’s upcoming Catalyst Guide on Inclusive Cultures, including recipients of Catalyst Fund Incubator grantees. Join us to discover how prioritizing inclusion and belonging can unlock your orchestra’s full potential as a thriving, impactful community.

This session is made possible by generous grants from the Mellon Foundation and Sakana Foundation.
