Description

Lillian M. Green is CEO and founder of North Star Forward Consulting LLC. She has worked as a teacher, school district leader, professor, and state agency director. Most recently, she led the integration of equity and inclusion into the early learning system for the state of Oregon as the Equity Director of the Early Learning Division. She has 10+ years of experience in the field of education and equitable policy development. Ms. Green is also a fourth-year Education Leadership EdD student, interested in exploring how critical consciousness is developed and cultivated in agencies as a tool to create equitable practices, policies, and procedures. Ms. Green views her life’s mission as one in the service of children and families. She believes that every child has the right to access high-quality education. To make this possible, she believes that we all have to critically analyze the systems that we operate in and interrupt institutional racism and oppression that causes and perpetuates disparate educational and health outcomes.

Operation Back to School:

This project is near and dear to my heart. Since 2018, Operation Back to School has provided over 650 fully loaded backpacks to children in Washington and Multnomah counties. Developed as a project to honor the life and legacy of my sister Kim(Green) Ellsworth. Kim unexpectedly passed away during a family spring break trip 2018. A 20-year teaching veteran of the Hillsboro School District. We could not think of a better way to honor her legacy in Washington and Multnomah counties then supporting students to start the year off with all of the supplies that they need.
