Seattle Aquarium

The Seattle Aquarium will provide staff training on diversity, equity, and inclusion with a goal to more meaningfully and positively engage all people in surrounding communities. The museum will work with a national consulting firm to facilitate an in-depth three-day training for 12-15 selected organizational leaders to become knowledge centers in diversity, equity, and inclusion at the aquarium. Staff trained at this workshop will in turn train their departments and other aquarium staff in the techniques they learned to inform more inclusive practice throughout the organization. The project is intended to create a model for sustaining an informed and culturally competent staff without continually relying on outside consultants.
