The Equitable Enterprise Initiative engages the public across diverse communities in the US and abroad, in both rural and urban geographies. During community workshops and public conversations, innovators like EEI Advisors and Fellows will share visions for a more equitable future, as well as practices they are following in their work. The Initiative will elevate equitable enterprise leaders’ stories, share best practices, and outline needed actions and policies to promote creation and growth of equitable enterprises. 

Below, meet the EEI Advisors and Fellows, watch videos of Deep Dive conversations, and read issues of the EEI newsletter. You can subscribe here, for monthly updates.
