Oregon Museum of Science and Industry

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry will build the foundation for long-term institutional change by addressing critical elements of its new Equity Action Framework to embed equity, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion (EDAI) into the fiber of its institutional culture. Outside organizations will present at quarterly staff meetings on critical topics to build a stronger baseline understanding of critical EDAI topics. A staff Equity Education Action Committee will coordinate the trainings and develop EDAI modules for OMSI's new employee and volunteer orientations. The museum will empower other teams to host community listening sessions, explore partnership relationships, and develop systems and tools to support board development, program delivery, and hiring and selection policies and practices. A series of evaluation activities with public program participants, staff members, and community partners will track success in achieving the project goals.
