ABOUT ROMY LAMARCHE
I am a dedicated change-maker and experienced leader in the field of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). With a strong background in developing and implementing DEIB initiatives, I am passionate about fostering a diverse, equitable, and accessible environment in all spaces while advocating for self-care and wellness. As a cultural sensitivity reader, I possess the skills to identify DEI-related challenges in writing and provide valuable insights. Furthermore, I am committed to mentoring and supporting a new generation of professionals who are eager to disrupt the status quo and drive positive change. Throughout my journey in the DEI space, which began at Earthjustice several years ago, I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented individuals in environmental litigation. Each day has been a valuable learning experience, reinforcing the notion that success is not simply handed to us—it is something we earn. As a leader in the DEIB field, my mission has been to empower and mentor young professionals who share a passion for challenging existing norms. Over the years, I have led workgroups in the development of intentional policies that strengthen our organization\'s DEIB efforts. In doing so, I have placed a strong emphasis on incorporating self-care into all aspects of our work. This ranges from deeply understanding stakeholders\' needs to setting objectives that align with our DEIB goals and effectively measuring our success. I take pride in creating a supportive environment that recognizes the importance of taking time away and have implemented programs such as monthly wellness checks and self-care initiatives in collaboration with Earthjustice\'s employee resource groups. As an initiative-taking leader, I possess the ability to manage multiple high-profile projects and optimize innovative system processes to drive continuous progress. With a keen sense of urgency and strong critical thinking skills, I excel at working with diverse groups and presenting to various audiences, including board members. Change management is a challenging endeavor, but we have implemented initiatives addressing promotion criteria, equity in hiring, staff engagement, and fostering respectful relationships with partners and clients. Our approach emphasizes collaboration, teamwork, promoting a feedback culture, supporting courageous conversations, and nurturing a deep passion for change. Let\'s connect and collaborate to drive meaningful DEIB impact and create a more inclusive future together.
