ORGANIZATION UPDATES
Over the past three months, ECOCA has been investing significant time and resources to professionalize and improve our people practices. We’ve done some hard work, and there is more to do. Despite our efforts, we don’t always get it right. In the spirit of transparency, we are sharing the letter that we wrote to Embodied Knowledge artists to keep them informed, here.
