NAIS Webinar: Equality, Law, and Leadership—A Practical Guide for Independent Schools Featuring Kenji Yoshino

Join us for a timely and practical webinar with renowned legal scholar and author Kenji Yoshino, exploring what today's evolving legal landscape means for independent schools as employers—and how school leaders can navigate it with clarity and confidence.

Drawing on his new book, How Equality Wins, Yoshino will offer a compelling framework for understanding how inclusion efforts can be pursued effectively and lawfully. The webinar will also take a close look at recent activity from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding DEI initiatives, translating complex legal developments into actionable guidance for school leaders. Topics will include:

• Hiring and promotion—understanding lawful practices in a shifting regulatory environment
• Accommodations—meeting your obligations while supporting a diverse community
• Professional development—designing inclusive programs that hold up to legal scrutiny

Whether you are a head of school, administrator, or HR professional, this session will equip you with both the intellectual framework and the tools to lead your institution with integrity and purpose.
