Driven by a desire to promote justice and equality at every level of society, De’Von Douglass has become a leading voice for social progress in her community. Ms. Douglass is the inaugural Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Greater Boston Legal Services. She also maintains a consulting agency, Aurora Advising Co., to inspire and instill inclusive policy in organizations through project management, facilitation, and strategic planning.

Previously, De’Von used her vast experience in community organizing and policy development as the first Chief Resilience and Equity Officer for the City of Tulsa.
