Our Team

All of us are keenly aware of, and have deep interests in, many aspects of our culture. We are outspoken, resourceful, and enterprising diversity and inclusion gurus, who are uniquely suited to help you and your institution. We are particularly adept at communicating comfortably and effectively with people from many walks of life. We are professional and collegial, and we do whatever it takes—putting in countless hours—to produce the best work possible. Not surprisingly, we are devoted to issues that affect the everyday lives of people, particularly those who have been rendered marginal by virtue of their race, class, and gender. Our team has coached and mentored executive leadership, administrators and emerging leaders within 6 K-12 school districts, 13 community colleges, 11 universities, over 15 non-profits, and over 30 businesses and large corporations.  For this proposed partnership, Dr. Whitaker and Rory Gilbert, would be your lead consultants, and Dr. Whitaker will have the direct reporting and administrative responsibility to CopperPoint Insurance Companies.
