ep53 - A Dive into Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

Stories from the Open Gov

One of the key themes for the Code for America Summit is Diversity Equity and Inclusion but what does this actually mean and how do we do it meaningfully so it's not just window dressing? To help us unpack this meaty and complex topic we enlist the help of three key and entertaining thinkers in the space here at the summit. Due to scheduling, this was recorded in two parts: Part 1: Brian Whittaker is the newly minted Acting Chief Innovation Officer for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. He is is well known in Federal tech circles with over 10 years of experience leading IT transformation projects across the government. Angelica "Angie" Quirarte is the Federal Partnerships Director for the Tech Talent Project designed to diversify the tech talent being brought into governments. Part 2 (at the 19:12 mark): Victor Udoewa is the Chief Experience Officer & Service Design Lead for NASA. That's right the organization who put people on the moon, and Victor gives us a teaser of what is coming next.
