About the Event
Join us for this virtual gathering with peers across the state to hear from Maria Woodruff-Wright, Vice President and CFO of the Skillman Foundation, about Skillman’s internal racial equity audit. The foundation has embarked on a process to understand where its dollars are going and to whom to operationalize racial equity work, set benchmarks and rally partners to join them in this effort. There will be time for questions and open space for discussion, so please bring highlights and challenges from your work to crowdsource ideas and support a shared learning experience. This conversation is open to all CMF members, whether you have a dedicated role in evaluation, strategy and data analysis, or this is one of many hats you wear.
