Equity In The Center is now using a tiered pricing model to better align with best practices among equity-focused organizations.

We ask that organizations purchasing tickets on behalf of their staff purchase tickets in the tier that aligns with your organizational budget and sector. And for individuals, we ask that people with greater privilege purchase tickets at the higher end, which will allow individuals with historically less access to wealth, disproportionately BIPOC folks, to pay the lower fees. EIC's new tiered budget categories are based on Rockwood Leadership Institute's pricing model.

• Our trainings are hosted on the Zoom video conferencing platform. You will need a computer or mobile device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet place to participate. A desktop computer (rather than cell phone or tablet) is ideal for accessing the training, as it allows the best ease of access to all the features in Zoom.
• Trainings are interactive and most include breakout discussions. Please come ready to participate! If this is not possible for you, accommodations can be made by direct messaging the EIC Zoom host at the start of the training.
• We offer auto-generated closed captions through Zoom. Captions can sometimes be a little glitchy or inaccurate.
