Dismantle Preservation is excited to kick off August virtual programming with Empowering Change Through Salary Advocacy and Negotiation  - a presentation and Q&A; this presentation will be live streamed for free on YouTube at 3pm EST on August 2, 2022.

Session Description: Salary negotiation is a point of leverage and opportunity, don't waste it! The goal of this session is to give participants the confidence to negotiate their next job, as well as  negotiating within the same institution. We'll demystify the gender pay gap and discuss the importance of salary transparency in the field. Then we'll go through the nuts and bolts of salary negotiation, including resources to determine your pay range, what to negotiate outside of salary, and how to respond to the initial offer.
