Good news happens. This episode is a conversation on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with Amelia Ransom, the retired Vice President of DE&I at Smartsheet. Amelia will be the keynote speaker for the graduation ceremony for United Way of King County’s Project LEAD, a training program that aims to increase the representation of people of color on non-profit boards and other community leadership positions.

In this episode, Amelia will discuss some of the biggest misconceptions about DEI, the differences between equality and equity, and the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is currently under constant attack from our federal government.

We will also discuss United Way’s Free Tax Preparation campaign and an upcoming volunteer opportunity.

Thanks for tuning in!
