Equity strategy | Metro [Video]

Established in 2013, the Equity Strategy Advisory Committee brought leaders from the philanthropy, nonprofit, public and business sectors together to provide guidance, input and community perspective throughout the creation of the strategic plan. One of the key products of ESAC’s work was a working definition of equity, which framed the development of the strategic plan.
