About the Community Engagement Team
Established in 2020, the Community Engagement Team fosters inclusive civic engagement by striving to ensure that:
- Residents are well informed about City matters, resources and opportunities
- City officials seek resident input and factor that input into decisions, programming, plans, and processes
Within that overarching goal, a key aim is to educate, engage, and empower historically underserved residents by:
- Acknowledging the barriers that people of color and marginalized communities experience in accessing City government programs and services or participating in public process
- Recognizing diversity as both a strength and opportunity
- Recognizing every project and initiative is different and therefore the approach to engagement must be different
The CE Team uses best practices to conduct meaningful outreach by eliminating cultural and language barriers with a focus on reaching the underserved.
