Inslee names director of new Washington Office of Equity
Washington's newly created Office of Equity will now have a director.
Gov. Jay Inslee named Dr. Karen A. Johnson the director of the recently established state Office of Equity on Thursday. The appointment is effective March 8.
“The Office of Equity Task Force benefitted tremendously from the great experience and strong moral force that Dr. Johnson brought to the table,” said Sen. Manka Dhingra, who sponsored the Senate companion to the legislation creating the Office of Equity. “As director of the Office of Equity, she will be a strong and inspirational champion for creating a future that we want our children to live in.”
The Office of Equity was established by the Washington state Legislature and signed into law in April 2020. The goal of the office is to work with agencies to increase access to equitable opportunities in order to bridge opportunity gaps and reduce disparities.
