Meet Timber Smith, Appleton`s new diversity, equity and inclusion leader — then prepare to get involved

APPLETON - Timber Smith, Appleton`s new diversity, equity and inclusion coordinator, has a message for the community.

It`s that diversity, equity and inclusion are achieved by people coming together, not by someone acting alone.

"You can`t do DEI work by yourself, right?" he told The Post-Crescent. "You`re affecting people. You`re changing the lives of people. You need other people to buy into the things so that there is change.

"I can`t do it alone, and I don`t think I`m going to have to do it alone."

Smith, 47, will start his new job Monday...
