Welcome to the kickoff to a monthlong dive into equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. Over the next four weeks, the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Executive Council will be sharing available resources, steps taken and what’s next as we build on our D&I strategy for a belonging, diverse and inclusive workplace.

Let’s flood InSite with a virtual parade of inclusion! Join the D&I Executive Council in showing your commitment to creating a culture where we can all belong.

Step 1: Click on your favorite image/poster below and print it full size.

Step 2: Take a photo with a poster.
It can be by yourself or with others. If you are working in the office, gather up your department for a group picture (COVID safe please). If you are working in the field, meet up with a coworker to take a pic. If you are working from home, snap a selfie or bring your family together in solidarity.
Step 3: Submit the photo to show your commitment. Images will be featured in a gallery on InSite.

The D&I Executive Council recently united against hate and hosted an Employee Town Hall. At the virtual gathering, CAO Helen Robbins-Meyer said she believed County employees should come together to become stronger.

“We’re only as strong as all of you collectively helping us and being leaders yourselves. One person, two people, five people, 10 people aren’t going to do it, but 18,000 people are going to do it because we are one County team and when we come together with honesty and respect --we build a sense of belonging and inclusion.”

Share this post with your coworkers and stay tuned for the next installments to this series!
