Our Commitment to Transparency
As part of our commitment to openness and transparency, CEP shares data publicly about the demographics of our staff and board on our website and on our Guidestar Profile.
Note: The demographic data we collect allows staff and board to check all that apply, so the values do not always add up to 100%. All questions are optional.
