DEI Leadership Team

The Potomac Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Team is a group of administrators and faculty representing all four divisions who meet regularly to ensure our community is supported.

The leadership team works in partnership with the board-level Diversity and Inclusion committee, cultural competence curriculum coordinators, and other working groups to move DEI work forward across Potomac. The team's work is focused on Potomac's five Commitments for an Inclusive Culture and Climate: equity & racial literacy, health & wellness, culturally responsive curriculum, recruitment & retention, and equitable transportation.

This team works to remove silos and identify any trends that may be emerging across divisions and coordinates DEI-specific professional development for faculty and staff.
