At the August 16, 2021 Dublin City Council meeting, Kofi Ampansah, Chair, and Bridgette Mariea, Vice Chair, of the Community Task Force, presented findings and recommendations by the Community Task Force, with input from the Chief’s Advisory Committee, in the form of a proposed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework. Council will consider the document and its recommendations. Adoption of a final Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework will occur at a later date to be determined.
In 2020, Dublin City Council formed a Community Task Force and Chief’s Advisory Committee to assist and advise the City on combating social injustice, inequity, intolerance, negative stereotyping and discrimination. These volunteer groups are composed of Dublin community stakeholders, including representatives from our diverse populations, youth, business owners and representatives from our school districts.
City Council expressed their appreciation of each member of the Community Task Force and Chief’s Advisory Committee for their time and leadership. This proposed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework would not have been possible without their input, efforts, review, suggestions and commitment to seeing this effort through.
