The National Inclusive Excellence Leadership Academy (NIXLA)

The National Inclusive Excellence Leadership Academy (NIXLA) Accelerator Series is designed to help individuals and institutional teams enhance their knowledge and understanding of topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in addition to strengthening participants’ strategic diversity leadership capabilities and cultural competencies. The series takes place online within a fast-paced masterclass type learning environment.

The Summer 2021 NIXLA Accelerators are designed for:

  • Leaders from all sectors and all levels of experience, from experienced professionals to those just beginning their DEI journey.
  • Teams looking to build a competitive advantage by completing the series as a working group or learning community. The team option is perfect for leadership groups, senior cabinets, and DEI committees looking to develop a stronger shared philosophy and approach to the work.
  • Governance boards searching to find their footing on these issues, we have taken special care to design a specific session for trustees, regents, and governors, while encouraging their participation in other aspects of our July and August programming.
