We are a collective of diverse consultants committed to centering equity and justice in our work.
Our Story
KAC began in 2017 with a small group of consultants that came together to support one another on their consultant journey. The initial purpose was to convene consultants with a shared equity vision. Over the years, the focus has expanded to include capacity building, professional development, and institutional organizing. With continued support from various institutions, KAC has grown into a community of practice with consultants who are committed to building systems that do not perpetuate structural oppression.
In 2020, KAC began to develop a justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) framework that will influence how the group engages internally and within the social and philanthropic sector. The framework is based on the Awake to Woke to Work model developed by Equity in the Center, and outlines the process for membership expansion, professional development, training, and applied practice. In addition to adopting a JEDI framework, the group is committed to upholding shared leadership.
