DEI Empowerment Conference
Who We Are
We are Washington State employees from various agencies. We are committed to developing and maintaining a public workforce that provides equitable access, meaningful services, and improved outcomes for all citizens including our state employees.
What We Do
We come together to plan and facilitate the annual DEI Empowerment Conference. Our goal is to create a space for learning. We create opportunities to explore ideas of equity, belonging, and anti-racism. We create a space for those with lived experience to share with government employees. We will seek to continuously improve and find ways to better meet the accessibility and content needs of state employees.

The goal of the conference is to foster a culture, systems, and practices that prioritize inclusion and belonging in our state workforce. Sessions highlight lived experience and ideas for creating inclusive Washington communities and workplaces.
