I would recommend SPARK Equity In Action to leaders looking for DEI consultants because we had a great experience, and because I believe that working with experts is crucial if companies want to make an impact.

We learned how to develop a common language around DEI. Before working with SPARK Equity In Action we wanted to do more work in the DEI space but we didn’t know how to make it part of our work culture. SPARK Equity In Action helped our DEI Committee create a safe space to show up whole, and facilitated affinity groups for the organization.

Our commitment to achieving measurable progress in DEI has been accelerated and strengthened by our relationship with SPARK Equity In Action. They supported us in forging and organizing our DEI Committee, facilitating difficult conversations, and developing a strategic management plan that incorporated a DEI lens.

I do not know where we would be without the insight and knowledge shared by the SPARK Equity In Action team. The team’s experience served as a valuable resource to our company, they have a unique way of making any potential hurdles seem manageable. The SPARK team has guided us through the formation committees as well as developing an overarching corporate DEI strategy.

SPARK Equity In Action helped to create the conditions necessary to advance our organization’s racial equity work. Since we began working with SPARK Equity In Action we launched a staff-led equity working group, formed racial affinity groups, created regular space for staff conversations about equity, diversity, and inclusion, and began more intentionally integrating environmental justice and racial equity resources into communications and professional learning opportunities for a wide variety of stakeholders and partners.
