Five Years of Equity in Action: How Washington State is Redefining Systems Change for All
Five years after the legislature codified its creation, the Washington State Office of Equity gathered with members of its founding Task Force to reflect on a journey from a zero-budget statute to being one of the nation’s largest state-level equity agencies.
On September 15th, inside Room G015C of the Helen Sommers Building on the Capitol Campus, an intimate yet historic gathering took place. Office of Equity Director Megan Matthews stood before a hybrid audience of original Task Force members, and interagency partners for a three-hour report-back breakfast.
