DENVER, CO\u2014<\/span>The Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) is thrilled to welcome two new team members to its Social Responsibility and Inclusion (SRI) division: Ashanti McGee, grants and access manager, and Jade Elyssa Cariaga, grants and equity manager. With more than a decade of experience in the field, McGee is both an artist and arts advocate who began her arts administrative work assisting local grassroots and nonprofits with grant writing and management. She most recently served as a district representative for Nevada Congresswoman Susie Lee, focusing on outreach for Black, Native American, and LGBTQ+ communities around arts and culture and environment and public lands. Cariaga began their career in 2015 as director of Cesar Chavez Middle School color guard, where they worked with Title I students to achieve regionally-unprecedented levels of success. They earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in dance from the department of World Arts and Cultures\/Dance at UCLA, where they were endorsed to be an undergraduate affiliate of the American Educational Research Association and were one of two people in their college’s graduating class to receive the Chancellor\u2019s Service Award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

"Sa loob ng maraming taon, ang WESTAF ay naghukay ng mga balon tungo sa pagkakaiba-iba, pagkakapantay-pantay, at pagsasama sa buong rehiyon ng Kanluran," ibinahagi ng Direktor ng Pananagutang Panlipunan at Pagsasama na si Anika Ten\u00e9. "Ang aming intensyon ay palalimin ang pangakong iyon sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay-diin sa pagkakapantay-pantay sa kultura, katarungang panlipunan, at pag-abala sa sistematikong kapootang panlahi sa pamamagitan ng paglilingkod sa mga grupong hindi kinakatawan sa loob ng sektor."<\/span><\/p>\n

Magtutulungan ang mga bagong tagapamahala ng SRI upang ang mga intersection ng access at equity ay matugunan nang mas malalim. Ang dalawang posisyon ay idinisenyo upang sadyang makipagtulungan sa mga programang gawad na nakatuon sa equity at upang bumuo ng makapangyarihang mga portfolio sa access at equity. "Ito ay isang kapana-panabik na oras," sabi ni Ten\u00e9. "Ang aming mga bagong tagapamahala ay nagdadala ng maraming karanasan at hilig sa mga tungkuling ito."<\/span><\/p>\n

Ang SRI division ng WESTAF ay inuuna ang trabaho na positibong nakakaapekto sa mga sumusunod na komunidad, bukod sa iba pa:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
