The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development is sponsoring a special cohort of the Maryland Equity and Inclusion Leadership Program (MEILP) specifically for their partners that serve vulnerable populations at or below the 200% federal poverty level. The MEILP is managed and delivered by the Schaefer Center for Public Policy at The University of Baltimore and the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights.

The 8-week program combines asynchronous and live instruction, with peer group interaction, and is:

• committed to helping participants and their organizations become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive;
• comprehensive and academically grounded; and
•  job relevant and requires participants to complete a project focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
