A Learning Library for Talent Leaders and Changemakers

Welcome to the 54Hub where organizational leaders working to create the conditions for staff members to thrive can leverage a range of resources designed to support their work. The 54Hub offers resources across a series of interconnected stages and processes, spanning a wide range of talent-related structures and experiences, all with a deeply-infused focus on diversity, inclusion, equity, and antiracism.

Results Oriented

Designed to help support measurable improvements related to attracting, developing, engaging, and retaining great people one values-aligned, equitable policy or practice at a time.

Anchored in Design Principles

We designed the resources for this library around a few critical design principles. First, because we recognize that too often, well-meaning organizational leaders implement DEI and antiracism work without appropriate levels of training and support and ultimately create more harm, we offer resources along with guidance on how to implement them. 

Next, we aim to provide tailored resources that can be leveraged by a range of organizational types, sizes, and organizations at different stages in their efforts to build environments where their staff members can thrive.

Finally, the resources provided in this library are designed for independent use by leaders, without requiring the direct support of an external provider. That said, we are always willing to answer questions and explore partnering to provide tailored support. If you find yourself unsure of which resources to leverage, how to use them, or in need of additional support, please reach out to us!

Informed by Collective Brilliance

We developed various resources within this library in partnership with an Advisory Committee comprised of leaders across the social sector. These individuals hold proximity to the work and a deep commitment to building and sustaining strong DEI and antiracism-embedded talent practices in their organizations and the field at large. We’d like to extend our gratitude to the thoughtful and intentional guidance shared by Alberto Garcia Jr, Brenda Paredes, Brigitte Marshall, Carole Shelhart, Dhanfu Elston, Eric Giraldo-Gordon, Gail Joseph,  Jeffrey Kitrosser, Lynette Guastaferro, Dr. Michelle Sadrena Pledger, Saba Abebe, Steven Satterfield, Tracy Fray-Oliver, and Vanessa Peterson.
