King County Audit: King County's Equity and Social Justice Strategies

View the complete audit here: https://bit.ly/ESJI2023 "Clearer Roles, Accountability, and Monitoring Would Support Equity Change" Presented by Luc Poon and Anu Sidhu King County’s goal to embed equity in every aspect of its operations is a complicated effort requiring clear roles, strong management structures, and accountability. While the County’s strategies to drive change have largely aligned with leading practices, we found that ambiguity in roles and responsibilities between agency staff and the Office of Equity, Racial and Social Justice (OERSJ) slowed progress. OERSJ is further hampered by lack of rigorous management structures. Without greater clarity and accountability, King County risks losing momentum to build on positive progress.
