Governor Inslee's 2022 Equity Summit

The Governor's Executive Order 22-02, Achieving Equity in Washington State Government, directed agencies to advance equity and anti-racism in the following areas: Public Contracting, Public Employment, Public Education, and Public Services. 

On November 30th, approximately 2,000 community members and state employees came together in-person and virtually to identify specific performance measures and metrics the state will use to gauge how well we are advancing equity. Together, Summit participants helped lay a strong foundation for achieving equity across Washington state government, now and for generations to come, and learned how to advance belonging, equity, and justice for all, from several incredible presenters.
