Restoration from the Inside Out: A Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Strategy

This strategy was developed by an independent consultant (Skeo Solutions) for the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership. It contains recommendations that are grouped into four DEIJ framework focus areas. The consultant developed these recommendations based on interviews with CBP teams and leadership, a DEIJ readiness survey, two focus groups, a review of key partnership policy documents and input from the Diversity Workgroup. The recommendations provide a visionary framework to be used by the partnership as a guide to achieve the following:

• Increase racial and ethnic diversity among partnership staff and leadership.
• Help partners develop as DEIJ leaders who understand, respect and embrace cultural diversity.
• Provide partners with the tools to continually assess progress towards diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice goals.

In addition, work plans should include both process and outcome measures to track progress over time. This document provides guidance on how to incorportate DEIJ in CBP logic and action plans.

A robust set of read-ahead materials was developed and delivered to participants prior to the meetings. During the workshops, a large amount of feedback was offered and catalogued.
