Directory of Educational Equity Organizations
Overview In 1999, the Women’s Educational Equity Act (WEEA) Resource Center at EDC initiated a collaborative effort to increase public support for an inclusive vision of equitable education. That is, an environment where children can achieve success regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or language. As a first step, the WEEA Center convened a meeting on June 25, 1999, of twenty-four organizations committed to education and equity. The purpose of the meeting was to develop a strategy to share resources and coordinate technical assistance, and promote the benefits of educational equity on the national and regional levels. These organizations included federal technical assistance providers, state departments of education, academics, and the following interest areas: research, women, disability, math, science, and technology, vocational education, and higher education.
The idea for this directory was conceived at this meeting. It contains information for individuals looking for equity resources, as well as providing an easy way to increase networking and collaboration across issues of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, and language for organizations working on these issues. The directory is divided into state, federal, and regional sections and also includes contact information for the organizations participating in the WEEA Center’s national equity group.
We will continue to update and expand this directory. If you have any corrections or additions to the directory or need any additional information, please contact the WEEA Center at (800) 225-3088 or on our TTY line: (800) 354-6798.

1 State Equity Contacts
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in institutions that receive federal financial assistance, requires each state to appoint a Title IX coordinator. The WEEA Center contacted state departments of education in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to determine whether they had appointed these contacts. Additionally, states may also have contacts for vocational equity (Perkins Act). As you will see, some states have combined all of these responsibilities into one position that they designate as the “state equity contact.” Following is a listing of the contacts provided by the states. Please note that in those instances where states do not appoint a Title IX coordinator, by default that responsibility goes to the chief state education officer (commissioner of education, superintendent of schools, etc).
Call your state equity contact to find out: • what your state is doing to meet the requirements of Title IX • who your local coordinator is • how the state can help you promote gender equity in education • how to get help for any compliance or discrimination concerns
We will continue to update our lists. Please contact us with any new information.

Regional Educational Laboratories Ten regional educational laboratories work to help educators and policymakers solve education problems in their states and districts. The labs research education issues, print publications, and provide training programs to teachers and administrators. Each lab publishes a catalog of its publications, covering a wide range of topics such as teaching strategies, school improvement, and parental involvement. Catalogs and publications are available to anyone, regardless of region, and can be requested directly from the labs; other services (training programs, etc.) are region-specific, and must be acquired through district education officials.
