Workshop for USCJ Congregations Engaging in the Clergy Search Process

This workshop will help congregations that are engaging in the clergy placement process to better understand how implicit bias unknowingly informs our organizational processes. Participants will learn how to prioritize equitable recruitment and hiring processes resulting in a more diverse applicant pool. This training is specifically for members of USCJ clergy placement committees. In addition, please feel free to also attend if you are a hiring manager or on other hiring committees.

Rachel Hall (she/her) is the Associate Director of Growth & Belonging at the URJ, where she helps foster inclusive communities through trainings, workshops, and program review. An openly queer Jewish woman from a working-class background and a mother of two, Rachel brings more than 15 years of nonprofit experience in equity, diversity, inclusion, and leadership development. She holds a BA from Clark University and an MA in Cultural Gender Studies from Simmons College.

This event will not be recorded but we will be offering it three times throughout the search season, in October, December, and February. We encourage you to attend early so your committee can start using these insights as soon as possible.
