  • 1.  Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultants

    Posted 08-10-2018 04:24 PM
    Hello,

    I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on consultants who work with museums on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts?
    We're still in the brainstorming phase, but having some recommendations would be a great place to start. 

    Thanks so much!
    Brad

    We had Maketa Wilborn come to the Corning Museum of Glass to do a two day training workshop for our diversity team. He was fantastic. We started with addressing ourselves as a team and where we were in terms of the work, then we looked at the museum and drew out a plan for the next year. It was a great combination of inner reflection and proactive planning. He was excellent at keeping us on track, using our time wisely, and yet still letting things flow when they needed to. We also ended up with a really nice comprehensive record in the form of large wall posters which we then used to report to leadership. They were partially responsible for a thumbs up with funding from leadership.  I would highly recommend him. We are having him back to train our leadership team, and likely to help us structure our museum wide training when we get to that phase.
