Hear From Our Donors
“My family has proudly supported EGAL since its inception. EGAL provides a research based framework to support the hard work of building equity fluent organizations. As leaders of business groups, both Eric and I understand the benefits of authentic and diverse leadership, but also the barriers that exist. EGAL has been a defining influence in both our careers and we donate in order to support the EGAL staff and grow their important body of research. We encourage anyone interested in and committed to the positive outcomes associated with equity fluent leadership to join us on this exciting opportunity and invest in a team with a proven record of change making.”
