About Tree Willard
I am a JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) focused MultiCultural Community Builder and Systems Change Leader. My personal experience as an Indigenous, Two Spirit person with invisible disabilities means this is the work I \"can\'t not do.\"(Thanks, Paul). Besides my personal, life experiences, I have years of professional experience creating community with people of many cultures, languages, and backgrounds and have developed a sharp eye for critical analysis where dismantling oppression is concerned. I have also been facilitating teams and group processes since 2001. I am committed to creating a more peaceful, nurturing society together. I have designed, facilitated, and led community advisory councils, social and organizational change initiatives; led work to rewrite or create legislation, policies, and practices, centering the experiences of the diverse people most service and government organizations intend to serve, dismantling some of the oppressive structures that they have perpetuated in the past; created executive performance measures that hold leadership accountable to create needed integrity in equity and inclusion work; provided executive/administrator coaching and personnel training in undoing institutional racism, implicit bias, intersectionality, relational leadership, listening; and more. But that’s all just the stuff I have to say about myself to get a job. What matters to me is building Beloved Community. I’ve learned from my elders and mentors, and from my failures, what it really means to put relationships first and I believe that doing so is the key to our collective healing and cultural restoration. I wish you peace and strength, love and support on your journey and I’ll see you in community!
