Looking for DEI Consultant in Midwest

Wed, 2019-01-16 11:08

I am interested in hosting a DEI training or workshop for the EE Association of IL board of directors and possibly some additional workshops for our organizational members. I am having a really hard time finding someone in the mid-west that has the expertise in this area but also an understanding/connection with the education world. I have tried several times to reach out to the Center for Environment and Diversity to see if they had any suggestions or were willing to travel all the way to IL but cannot get a response from them. Does anyone have any suggestions for consultants or experts that lead DEI training and workshops for BOD in the education and non-profit worlds? Thanks!

Hi Abbie! August Ball from Cream City Conservation in Milwaukee has done great DEI trainings for WAEE and she's not too far away. I'd definitely recommend her. https://www.creamcityconservation.org/

You could also try these resources:

-Diverse Environmental Leaders Speakers Bureau at http://delnsb.com/
-Center for Diversity and the Environment at https://www.cdeinspires.org/contact-us/

Both organizations may be able to refer a member of their network who might live in your region. Good luck!

Hi Abbie,

I lived in the Chicago area and collaborated with Terry Soto. Although she specialized in restorative justice and racial healing, she knows a lot of people in the DEI in the area. You can contact her via email at policediversitytraining@gmail.com

You could also try the Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance in Holland, MI. They offer amazing workshops and consulting resources and they aren't too far away from Chicago.

For your BOD I would recommend Chicago-based consultant Stacey Gibson. She has experience in facilitating for education and environmental groups etc. justgibson28@gmail.com. For organizational members, I would suggest you reach out to Chicago-based Environmentalists of Color, their reach expands into MidWest http://www.eocnetwork.org. I would also offer to personally connect with you along with my friend Anita from Detroit above and other Chicago folks.
