Scale Strategic Solutions has the pleasure of partnering with Steven J. Baines of Elevate Your Image to assist the Galveston Park Board and the Galveston Island Convention and Visitors Bureau with its journey to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the tourism and recreation industry. Building on the city’s rich history of Juneteenth is not only an opportunity for cultural tourism and legacy building, but it is also a reminder that our values of freedom, diversity, equity, and inclusion come to life through an intentional implementation process. 

Scale Strategic Solutions specializes in strategic planning and organizational development. While we have always operated with a lens toward DEI, we partner with DEI subject matter experts, like Steven, for organizations that are creating or revising their DEI plans. We take our clients through a process, so they come away not only with a DEI vision and principles but also an actionable DEI plan. The plan must have clear steps, monitoring processes, organizational structures, and operational nudges to bring their DEI plan to life. DEI plans cannot just be proclamations; armies of dedicated stakeholders must implement the DEI plan in daily practices, procedures, and interactions.
