Taliesin Preservation aims to converge around architecture, nature, agriculture, and culture, and is dedicated to increasing inclusiveness and diversity within these disciplines, our audiences, and our teams. We believe that by embracing a range of perspectives and ideas, we can offer more authentic experiences.
Our year-round staff participates in Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Sustainability (IDEAS) conversations. The team meets for discussion and devotes time to completing assignments, including readings, exercises, videos, and exploring bias tests. We aim to reach a common understanding of issues and develop actionable steps to address them at our organization.
Our staff sets annual Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) goals related to IDEAS principles. We actively update our HR policies and hiring practices to be more inclusive and equitable. We are studying our history and reflecting on ways to tell our stories with more balance and acknowledgment of historical wrongs. The process does not end here with a public statement. We are committed to continuing to cultivate a place rooted in equity. Change takes time and work, but it is work worth doing.
