Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is essential for every institution and organization. It requires lots of time, energy, expertise, and an on-going commitment. Many of those who are prioritizing DEI need support or assistance but not to the extent of a full-scale consult, which can be outside of their budget or their needs. That might mean that an organization or institution is committed to DEI work internally but also needs some external support to help ensure they are making the most thoughtful and equitable decisions possible.

That’s why I am offering a “DEI On Call” package for a handful of clients. The “DEI On Call” package is an affordable support package for institutions and organizations who might have questions, need support, or need an outside DEI expert to review their plans policies, programming, or procedures.

“DEI On Call” is a good fit for you if:

• You have questions or need a thought partner related to DEI or a DEI initiative.

• You want feedback on a document, plan, policy, or issue.

• You want help clarifying or ensuring that programs, policies, or procedures are equitable.

• You want to ensure that your process (such as hiring, admissions, recruitment, retention) is equitable.

• You need specific DEI resources for your organization/institution.

• You need assistance with buy-in or transition.

• You need assistance/advice with any DEI issue.

Full-scale consultation work with Marcelius might be a better fit for you if:

• You need more than advice/support and are in need of assistance drafting, creating full scale policies/plans, or long-term consulting/external work (more than 6 months)

• You need training, workshops, or programs led by an external partner.

• You need an external partner to complete equity/curriculum surveys, audits, or assessments.

Please visit the “Consultations” page or contact Marcelius here for a complimentary phone call/Zoom related to full-scale consultation.

How “DEI On Call” works and what you receive:

Marcelius has over a decade of DEI work, and his background and experience will help save you time and energy as well as give you the confidence that you are navigating and moving forward in your DEI work with all the necessary resources, support, and concrete feedback.

You will receive the following from “DEI On Call”

1. Two 1-on-1 (or small group) Zoom check-ins per month

   You (or a small group of no more than 4 people) will be able to schedule two conversations up to an hour (adjustments made with permission) with Marcelius to discuss current/upcoming work, request resources, request feedback, ask for recommendations, or brainstorm any DEI ideas you have.

2. Access to text/email throughout the month with a quick response time for your questions and feedback.

   You will be able to text (via Signal)/email Marcelius, and he will respond within 1 business day with a text or email with an answer to your question or an estimated time needed for feedback if asked to review a document, plan, or policy.

3. A shared folder of resources (via Google Drive) specifically designed for your needs.

   Marcelius has lots of templates, resources, and guides that can be useful for your DEI needs. He will create a shared folder and will continue to upload documents that will be helpful, including presentations/training materials he has used in the past.
