How To Have Difficult Conversations

Description

Marcus A. Brooks, Executive Director, The Center for Health Equity, will lead this discussion. “Whatever gifts you are believed to have are not yours. They were gifted to you for a finite amount of time to be passed on and used in service of others”. These are words that Center for Health Equity Executive Director, Marcus Allen Brooks repeats to himself every morning. In his role, Marcus works to envision, strategize and ultimately mobilize a multi-discipline, multi-sector experience to advance racial equity and improve the overall health of our community. Mr. Brooks is a passionate advocate for this work bringing over 15 years of experience in the non-profit world with a wide range of disciplines from racial equity facilitation, to fundraising, board development and collaborative partnership cultivation.
