The mission of the DEI CoP is to foster greater diversity, equity, and inclusion practices among local non-profit, private and public sector professionals and community members located in the Greater Seattle area through shared best practices and strong collaboration.

Join Global Washington member VillageReach as they share insights into their recent work to evaluate and organize their external communications using a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens. The event will start with VillageReach’s President, Emily Bancroft, giving an overview of VillageReach and its DEI structure and story. Followed by Health Systems Manager, Jodi-Ann Burey who will present language and photography guidelines and framework. There will be a 30 minute audience Q&A session so participants are encouraged to bring samples of their own work or project as reference.
