We are excited to recognize and uplift Black Water Champions internally and externally during Black History month at Clean Water Action. During this time of reflection on important advancements and milestones in history, we honor those who sacrificed and impacted the Black movement for justice and equality, as well as Black leaders of today.
Our celebration continues as we recognize Ashley Richardson, who joined the Clean Water Action team in 2021 as the Human Resources and Culture Director. She developed a passion for the environment and the need for diversity, education, and training in it while working for an environmental graduate school. A clear understanding of how to create an allyship and training are her passions. This role allows her to be a part of the solution.
Starting her leadership in post-secondary education molded her into an analytical, assertive, results-driven, and success-focused leader. She now possesses over 10 years of leadership and management experience. Another passion is advocacy for oneself while navigating both personal and professional endeavors.
Ashley holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Human Resources Management, obtained at Central Michigan University and Diversity training such as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Certificate from USF, Muma College of Business. Her goal is to foster an environment of learning, empowerment, equity, and sound resources.
Ashley is a first-generation college graduate from Detroit, MI who enjoys traveling, reading, and service in her free time.
Congratulations Ashley Richardson! You are a Clean Water Champion.
