Comprised of Forefront staff, board members, and external sector leaders, Forefront’s Advancing Racial Equity (ARE) Committee is committed to supporting the advancement of racial equity on behalf of the Forefront team as well as infuse and operationalize racial equity strategies within our mission and core offerings.
