Advancing Organizational Equity Toolkit

The Advancing Organizational Equity (AOE) Toolkit is a compilation of the experiences of eight jurisdictions operationalizing equity principles and frameworks to increase organizational capacity to address internal inequities (e.g., hiring and retention, creating internal equity groups, providing high-impact, ongoing equity training to staff). The AOE Toolkit provides: 

• Tangible strategies to assist NASTAD member jurisdictions with the implementation of equity principles and frameworks within their agencies; 
• Specific guidance for operationalizing equity concepts and frameworks for EHE and NASTAD member jurisdictions; 
• Technical assistance resources to health department staff receiving limited support to operationalize organizational equity work.
