This Office builds capacity and enables the City's workforce to promote and model equity principles and practices in the community and within the organization, advancing the City towards its objective of excellence in local government, and sustaining an organization culture that is inclusive, welcoming, and responsive to the needs of under-represented and marginalized groups.
