The JDEI Action and Accountability Committee in partnership with the NDEO Board(s) and Staff will develop a multi-year action and accountability plan that addresses the big ideas outlined in Seasons of Opportunity and Growth Maryland Nonprofits Equity Program Audit Report to the National Dance Education Organization January 2022 and eventually aligns with the upcoming Strategic Plan.

As we shift into a more inclusive ecosystem we recognize that NDEO has historically lacked diversity across our leadership and membership in regards to BIPOC individuals. The Action and Accountability committee will provide a roadmap for organizational and programmatic changes over the next few years as NDEO embodies its commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization.
