Baltimore Tracks is tracking its own progress.
The 40 member organizations of the 2020-founded coalition, which is committed to improving racial equity in the local tech community, hired a consultancy firm to conduct this year’s diversity, equity and inclusion report.
Mattingly Solutions will build and conduct the survey, and offer recommendations for action and workshops to help member orgs boost diversity within their ranks.
Last year’s DEI report created a snapshot of the makeup of the Baltimore tech workforce through the self-reporting of its at-the-time 19 member orgs. The findings: Local tech workers are 67% white, 14% Asian and 7% Black. Contrast that to the city as a whole, which is 32% white, 3% Asian and 63% Black, per the latest US Census data.
