nte Picture A n Assessment of Di versity, Equity and In clusion at MEEA Insi ghts Report 2023 Executive Summary MEEA is committed to cultivating a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within our organization, supporting our members as they pursue similar goals and providing a platform to elevate policies, programs and resources that encourage the diversification of the larger energy ef. [...] To better understand the needs of our members and the broader energy efficiency industry related to diversity, equity and inclusion, MEEA released a competitive RFP to identify a consultant to support our work. [...] They were asked to make a selection using the following four-point scale: (1) We haven’t started to address DEI; (2) DEI is new to my organization and we're just getting started with addressing DEI; (3) We’re familiar with DEI and in the process of incorporating DEI into our organization; (4) We’ve incorporated DEI into our organization and how we do business. [...] For example, 100% of the organizations in the utility industry have provided DEI trainings, while only 50% of the organizations in the state/local government industry have done so. [...] • The tone of this kind of sharing can reflect a sense of MEEA’s “partnership” with its members in the DEI journey which may have the effect of galvanizing relationships and stirring up increased interest in what MEEA has to offer as well.
