Regional Equity Strategy
The Regional Equity Strategy aims to improve outcomes for marginalized communities. It will provide guidance to help members work in a coordinated manner towards the region’s goal of providing an exceptional quality of life and opportunity for all. It will also provide guidance and training for staff to ensure the agency effectively uses its roles to advance racial equity.
The agency will lead with race, which has proven to be an effective method for not only increasing equitable outcomes for people of color but developing a framework, tools, and resources that can remove barriers for other marginalized groups.
