field are, what problems they face and
what resources they need. The things
needed will vary depending on many
different factors, such as population
served, demographics and location,
just to name a few. The next step will
be finding similarities between these
needs, developing categories and creating strategies that provide resources
for these different groups. All of these
strategies need to be grounded in the
idea of equity, which is not providing
everyone the same thing, but is giving
people what they need, she says.
" I feel like education is that first step
to change, " Saxton-Ross says. " It's
this idea of if you know better, you
do better. " Education has to be a twopronged approach, working on both
an organization level and an individual level. Individuals need to internalize
messages to fully advocate for these
messages externally. " If we don't have
that understanding internally, we can't
advocate it for other people, " she says.
Then, processes on an organization
level must back up these commitments to DEI. " That is operationalizing equity and inclusion. "
While education is key, the " secret sauce " to DEI success is developing safe spaces for people to work
through being uncomfortable with
these new lessons, Saxton-Ross says.
" What's going to be really key to...
[bringing] equity and inclusion and
diversity to the entire field is how...
we create these spaces for people to
work through those conflicting ideas
and lived experiences. "
As people learn and grow, they
will be better able to understand the
importance of sharing these lessons
with others. " We have to be intentional about our approach, " SaxtonRoss says. The policies that have created divisions in communities were
intentional, so our work to fix these

problems also has to be intentional.
But the field offers a perfect place to
implement change, because parks
and recreation brings people together. Read more about Saxton-Ross'

view on the professionals working in
the field in NRPA's Open Space blog
