ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain

ECHO, the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, will work with a consultant to increase organizational capacity to address diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA) issues across the museum. Project activities include assessing and updating museum policies and protocols, training staff, board, and leadership, and developing strategic actions for departments across the museum, including facilities, guest services, communications, programs, and workplace. The museum will convene a DEIA community advisory panel and a series of community listening sessions to inform their work. The outcome of project activities will be an increase in the museum's ability to serve its community by increasing the capacity of the staff and governing body to apply a DEIA lens to all aspects of museum operations.
