Remote DEI Collective
The Remote DEI Collective (RDC) is a community of practice of seven fully and partially virtual education organizations. Launched in the fall of 2019 and led by The Learning Accelerator, the group came together to form the research and development effort, sharing strategies and exploring common challenges at the intersection of DEI and remote culture.

"My experience as an RDC member is invaluable, and the synergy between members and facilitators is unparalleled. The collaboration offered various perspectives regarding building capacity, problem-solving, innovation, and efficacy. The partnership yielded three major takeaways; one, clarity of shared purpose; two, a high level of mutual trust; and three, concise communication."
