Impact Statement: City of San José

"The Bay Area Equity Atlas has been a fantastic partner for the City of San José. They've been highly accommodating and made themselves readily available. Almost 100 city employees participated in their training sessions, which included one in-person and one virtual session. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5. They expressed a strong likelihood of integrating the training into their work, with one participant commenting that the tool provided was particularly useful.

We're grateful to the Atlas for their efforts in making data accessible and enhancing the skills of our government staff. They were responsive to our needs and incorporated interactive elements into the training for better understanding.

It's worth noting that Atlas provided these valuable training sessions to the City of San José at no cost. This support is invaluable as we strive to advance racial equity practices and analysis within our city’s government."
