PAST EXPERIENCE

"No institution that is sincere in their desire to produce equal outcomes can afford not to make the investment. Universally, budgets are challenged and staff are over extended, but this is not the time to abandon diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. Instead, it’s time to double down and put DEI into practice. As a part of their equity and inclusion journey, United Way of Washtenaw County (UWWC)  has committed to transparency in sharing learning in informal and formal ways. Through this case study it is their goal to share a path that informs how fiscal agents can leverage their roles as community citizens, funders, employers, and economic entities to create more enlightened communities, unified in the pursuit of creating more equitable outcomes for all."
