The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) is pleased to present a webinar, in partnership with its Center for Accountability and Performance (CAP): Setting Up and Evaluating Programs with an Eye on Equity.
Taking place online next Tuesday, February 21, at 1 p.m. EST, and free for all those who wish to attend, this discussion will examine diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) in the public sector.
The drive toward creating DEIA in the public sector is a significant issue for many governments, as well as the people they serve. How can they establish an environment that fosters these goals and then be held accountable for their success or failure—and how can they achieve better measurement toward improved outcomes? This webinar will explore a number of related questions including:
· What can governments do to get better at centering racial, economic and gender equity throughout the work they deliver?
· How can they best be set up to achieve equity and inclusion outcomes, including effective measurement toward these outcomes?
· What are some tools and best practices that can be used to evaluate programs and services through the lenses of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility?
Beyond a roadmap for how to improve equity outcomes in government, attendees also will learn how to evaluate the performance of programs and services by applying equity tools and best practices.
Bring your questions; we will leave plenty of time for audience interaction and feedback!
