Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

• The EESI board of directors has formally adopted a resolution making Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) core values for the organization's staff, board, interns, and fellows.
• EESI intends to apply the principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion across its internal operations and external outputs, specifically its communications, policy work, and technical assistance programs.
