Racial Equity Roundtable: Equity by Design

Racial equity doesn't begin when a project is completed—it begins with how we plan, prioritize, allocate resources, and make decisions. But what does it look like to make equity a core part of our everyday work rather than an additional task?

This interactive roundtable will explore how leaders, decision-makers, and community practitioners can intentionally embed racial equity into project planning and implementation. Through practical tools such as SMARTIE goals, MOCHA, and RACI charts, participants will examine how to establish equitable outcomes, clarify roles and decision-making authority, and strengthen accountability.

Together, we'll explore how time, money, people, and power influence project outcomes and how thoughtful planning can move organizations from good intentions to meaningful, measurable impact. Facilitated by Kourtney Woodbury.
