Desiree Williams-Rajee, Principal and Founder
Desiree is the former Equity Program Manager for the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, the first position of its kind, where her work was dedicated to the alignment of social equity in public administration and environmental policy. In her consulting practice, she uses her unique combination of skills in organizational development, change management, social justice organizing, and systems analysis to create customized solutions that move organizations and teams toward equitable solutions. From helping government staff to see dismantling institutional racism as a performance strategy to dismantling internalized oppression as a community empowerment strategy, her role is to help others navigate towards sustainable solutions that build community resilience.
"Desirée has been leading the conversation on equity, climate, and sustainability in the public sector for a long time. What stands out is that she speaks and teaches from experience – she knows first-hand what it takes to create change in complex environments."
— Nils Moe, Former Urban Sustainability Directors Network Director
