Centering Equity in Multisector Collaborations

Centering Equity in Multisector Collaborations

Are you doing equity work in your community or organization or want to get started? In this webinar, equity, leadership, and improvement consultant Kristene Cristobal shares a framework about how to center equity in collaboration and how to measure it through a set of values, capabilities and processes that underpin health equity efforts. The Framework for Equity in Multi-Sector Collaboration synthesizes the wisdom of thought leaders and people with lived experience and utilizes metrics such as leadership and organizational commitment to equity, diverse staff representing the communities their organizations serve, disaggregated data by race, and structures and processes to increase staff capabilities in equity. We hope that as a result of this webinar, viewers can add this framework to their toolbox for designing community-centered and equity driven work in their communities.

Viewers are invited to reflect on:

  • how to track equity in a meaningful way,
  • how to make equity work actionable across partnerships, and
  • how to center lived experience in equity strategies, implementation, and practice in a sustainable way.
