#181: The Elevation of DEI in Los Angeles
Published on by Travis Loop, Founder of waterloop, a nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for sustainability in water.
Societal events of the past few years have many water utilities working to address diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workforce.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has established an Office of DEI that is focusing on an array of work and has a top executive that reports directly to the general manager rather than the human resources department.
These efforts are discussed in this podcast with Cathie Chavez-Morris, Utility Services Manager with the LADWP Office of DEI.
She talks about striving for improvements in the areas of workforce, workplace, and marketplace. Cathie also explains the opportunity to use historic levels of infrastructure funding to make progress on DEI.
