Embracing Equity and Social Justice

This webinar will look at King County, Washington, as an example of implementing equity and social justice in the solid waste and recycling industry. King County is one of three counties in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan area. The King County Solid Waste Division has had a long-standing commitment to equity and social justice (ESJ) initiatives as a local service provider. Over the past few years, they've been focused on the internal aspects of their workforce and how they can develop a strategy to bring clarity and direction of these important ESJ efforts, along with a strong alignment with the broader King County ESJ goals.

Speakers: Mark Monteiro, King County, WA
