Salvador Acevedo has over 20 years of experience helping organizations link their design and innovation strategies with various cultures within the US. Being bilingual and bicultural gives him the ability to recognize the cultural markers that signal inclusion. He is professionally invested in helping organizations increase diversity, deepen inclusion, and advance equity, in a broad range of fields, from arts & culture, to informal education and urban planning. Salvador is founding faculty of the Leaders of Color Network by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF.) He’s an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco teaching in the Museum Studies Graduate Program, and he is a TED Talk speaker with the talk “I Am Mestizo”. Salvador is deeply committed to opening opportunities for all and broadening our understanding of inclusion, and that’s one of the reasons why he serves on the CE Board. Another reason is that he thinks the art created at CE is the best in San Francisco.
