**NEW COURSE** Cultural Competency online course begins June
6
Creating organizations that are culturally competent is not an altruistic wish, but rather a business strategy to ensure our workforce reflects, represents, and is responsive to the communities with whom we collaborate and serve and
perhaps more critically, how we shape our programs, exhibits, and collections. While cultural competency has long been incorporated into the medical disciplines and the fields of psychology and social work they have been slow to enter the cultural
heritage professions.
Join Helen Wong Smith for this 4 week online course which provides the skills to employ cultural competency and the stages individuals and organizations can implement to improve relations with internal and external communities.
