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.
