Racial Justice Resources

Join a Cohort. Lead the Change.

PANO is on a mission to assess and improve our Standards for Excellence through a racial justice lens. Our goal is to remove implicit bias from the current Standards language and identify where inclusion can be embedded in the policies and practices.

PANO is seeking professionals and/or board members from nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania to join assessment cohorts and lead the change in this important initiative.

Maher Duessel is proud to support PANO’s efforts to provide racial justice resources for nonprofits. We are a certified Women’s Business Enterprise CPA firm committed to promoting cultural diversity and inclusion.
