Hear From our Participants

Warren and his team at NEMNET have crafted such an intentional and useful cultural competency training that covers so many aspects of recruiting, hiring, and retaining candidates of Color. Each of our teachers and staff who regularly serve on hiring committees left the session feeling more equipped with the tools they need to review resumes, interview candidates, and think about school culture in a new way. Our hiring committee valued their time in this session and we aim to offer this professional development to our entire faculty moving forward.

Aletha Haynes

Primary Division Head (Grades K-2)

Thank you so much for the incredibly powerful workshop you gave to our schools here in Albuquerque. Not only was it extremely informative, but also your workshop really helped start to shift the narrative at our school from "there's nothing we can do" to "wow, we have a lot to do!" I'm meeting later today with our leadership team in order to start building an action plan for diversity recruiting, something I know would not be happening if it weren't for your workshop. Thank you so much!

Warren Reid is a stellar presenter, highly informative, and a dynamic speaker. His mastery of the field of staffing, recruiting/hiring would benefit any educational institution. His workshop not only highlighted best practices for effective and efficient for recruitment but also the critical efforts to secure and retain a talented, diverse staff, faculty and administration. I have attended a wide array of conferences and workshops over the last 20 years and I found Warren's presentation to be one of the best. I was challenged, stimulated and provoked to action.
