In 2019, Milwaukee County took the unprecedented step of declaring racism a public health crisis, signaling a commitment to confront inequity at its roots. Today, it remains a leading county in Wisconsin still intentionally advancing equity initiatives, proving that sustained change requires more than statements; it demands coordinated action. This session explores how strategy becomes impact when government, nonprofit, and private sectors align and, critically, when people from all intersections of identity are brought to the table. Attendees will engage with a practical DEI model that moves beyond siloed initiatives, showing how diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences can shape policies, funding, and programs for real-world outcomes. Participants will discover how to break down institutional barriers, foster inclusive collaboration, and embed equity as a shared framework for decision-making. This is more than a conversation about DEI, it’s a roadmap for translating bold commitments into measurable, lasting change across communities and sectors.
