Since coming to Urban I have been impressed with the organization’s commitment to ensure that our staffing, the work we produce, and our dissemination strategies reflect the diverse make-up of the country. This comprehensive approach intends to produce work that will attract a growing audience of people of color, women, and people outside Washington, DC, and to yield sound evidence upon which decisionmakers can base equitable policies that lead to economic and social mobility among communities that have been left behind.
