Upcoming Equity Events
2024 We the People Convening: Be Bold. Be Change.
This Washington State Office of Equity Convening is an exciting opportunity to support state agencies as they co-create with their internal team members, other state agencies, and Washington community members and organizations. Our event fosters sharing and creating innovative approaches around pro-equity and anti-racism (PEAR), Relational Partnerships, systems change in state government, and creating a Washington state that fosters belonging. There is much to be done to create an environment where everyone belongs, and that work requires courage. We’re challenging you - Be Bold. Be Change.
Community of Practice Webinars
Community of Practice (CoP) is an ongoing virtual event and community series hosted by the Office of Equity. If you enjoy collaborating with like-minded individuals who are passionate about addressing systemic issues, advocating for policy changes, and implementing impactful initiatives to create a more inclusive and belonging environment, then the CoP series is for you!
Equity Learning Series
We have launched our new monthly Equity Learning Series! Each month during 2024, the Office of Equity will host one webinar focused on equity and belonging topics. These webinars will be geared towards increasing the knowledge, skills, and ability of us all within State Government. We do this to fulfill one of our main goals: delivering services equitably to meet the unique needs of every person in Washington.
