Overview


Purpose

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Implementation Committee was established by the Select Board as a Committee to advise the Select Board on implementing the final recommendations of the Diversity Task Force (DTF). The charge of the DEIIC was approved on May 25, 2022.

Objectives

The Committee will discuss and advise on the implementation of the final recommendations of the Diversity Task Force. The committee will consider priority, length of time to implement, cost to implement and public and employee input on those recommendations. The committee will work with the Town's Human Resources Department, School Department, Public Safety Departments and any other Town department that will be able to assist in informing the committee on a realistic implementation timeline. The committee will also work with Belmont's community to bring forth the recommendations of the DTF. The committee will hold public input sessions for recommendations. Finally, the committee will bring to the Select Board their implementation plans with any and all costs implications for a final vote of the Select Board.
