Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group call [September 10, 2020]

• Recording of the call

Sharing DEI challenges and progress among HRA Members

The September meeting of the DEI working group focused on increasing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our grant portfolios.  Discussion topics:

• • Do you prioritize DEI in your grantee portfolio and if so why?
  • What is the racial/ethnic representation of your applicants and awardees?
  • What would you like to improve, what are your goals?
  • Are you satisfied with the resources available to improve your processes, including engagement from your organization’s leadership?

We also discussed next steps including prioritizing topics and scheduling a standing call.
