After the task force member made the comment, another member echoed that \u201cthe office of equity should model practices and decolonize boards by identifying, dismantling, culture-bound rules and decorum, time-requirement, education, and what we call \u2018expertise.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Karen Johnson, who was serving as equity and inclusion administrator for the Washington State Department of Corrections\u00a0in November, said at the November 25 meeting discussing \u201cRemoving health disparities by race\/ethnicity\/gender\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Most white people and Europeans are about agenda and to-do lists and tasks and \u201cOh we have thirty minutes for this\u201d and \u201cOh, time to move on,\u201d where people of color, maybe it matters, maybe it doesn\u2019t.

If Craig Bill walked in right now in Tumwater, Washington, we\u2019d say \u201cHello\u201d and maybe somebody would \u2014\u00a0well, our chairs are gracious, so you won\u2019t \u2014 would \u00a0let him know \u201cwell, here we are,\u201d but it\u2019s basically, \u201cThis is where we are; just get with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One member of the committee, asked, \u201cI do want to ask for clarity; we are still going to move forward with the idea of an advisory board.
