Why did HB4 Diversity change its name to Alliance for Collaborative Equity?Our new name reflects our collaboration and partnerships with school districts and communities to increase equity awareness and the creation of atmospheres where adults and students, especially underserved students, are able to thrive and feel valued. CEO & District Level Equity Specialist Giovanna Adams states, “Our mission began as an outlet for open dialogue about race and its intersections, collaboration on ways to be more inclusive, and to explore the diversity in small towns. As our organization grew into a 501(c)3 nonprofit, our mission grew with it. We now partner with K-12 schools and higher education institutions across CT, MA, and PA.. With this growth, our new name reflects our expanded scope and allows others to recognize that our organization is focused on equity education and open to all small, rural communities and school districts.”

Why was Alliance for Collaborative Equity Inc. (Formerly HB4 Diversity Inc.) started?HB4 Diversity, Inc. was founded in November of 2016, in response to rising sentiment of inequity in society against marginalized individuals. Many large cities with diverse communities have organizations similar to HB4 and are already doing great work. HB4's focus is on rural towns and communities with small populations of diversity. While we do not criticize small towns, we must acknowledge when small towns lack diversity it limits the opportunity to talk with people of different backgrounds. HB4 is dedicated to bringing diverse people together to address these divisions.
