Who You’ll Work With

Equity-Centered Process Management

• Draft and send external communications and deliverables that are reliably culturally responsive, jargon-free, clear, and free of typographical errors
• Prepare and present ongoing process updates and end-of-project proposals for changes by gathering, analyzing, and summarizing qualitative and quantitative data from internal and external stakeholders (e.g. staff, reviewers, Fellows)
• Design and facilitate efficient post-process debrief meetings that capture strengths and opportunities for growth in equity-centered Selections / Disbursements processes

Inclusive People Management & Departmental Support
