Data

• We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
• We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
• We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
• We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

• We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
• We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
• We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
• We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
• We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one's race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
