Nick Bayard Leads Race and Equity Workshops at UW Tacoma

Updated February 2021

The UW Tacoma Professional Development Center offers DEI workshops that are geared towards the development of local nonprofits and public sector organizations. Check out our upcoming workshops. 

Students will spend a day exploring the drivers of institutional racism in the nonprofit space, as well as learning tools to advance equity and enact positive societal change through their organizations’ work. 

Leading the workshop is Nick Bayard, Assistant Chief Equity Officer at the City of Tacoma. For Bayard, this is deeply personal work. Not only is he deeply active in the local nonprofit community, but as a member of a bi-racial family, Bayard remembers a watershed moment in uncovering some of his own blind spots regarding race and equity in our society.
