The Equity Council comprises up to 24 individuals with lived experience or those advocating for priority communities, tasked with balancing RRRISE’s regional bodies and guiding inclusive decision-making. The Council advises on community needs, advocates for disinvested populations, recommends regional consultations and training, and encourages broad participation, ensuring equity remains central throughout Redwood Region RISE’s efforts. The Council's facilitator is Lulu Mickelson (Mickelson Facilitation). Reach out to Lulu at lulu.mickelson@gmail.com if you have any questions about the Equity Council.
