DEI Expert Resource List
One way we aim to advance our mission and vision is by linking you, our stakeholders, with resources if you are seeking diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expertise. This DEI Expert Resource List bridges that gap: connect to “experts” (people or organizations) that offer services or expertise in various areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. They have been deemed experts due to their DEI experience and their involvement with the Blue Sky Institute and the Idaho community.
This list is being generated by those who have partnered with Blue Sky to lend expertise to our programming. This list is not comprehensive of all the experts in the areas of DEI within Idaho.
Each expert has given us approval to be on this list. Their services and your organization’s potential satisfaction with these services are between you and the expert. If you have questions, please email us at blueskyinstitute@boisestate.edu.
