increasing the number of people of color who apply for the various boards and commissions, few people <br />of color are being selected other than for the Human Rights Commission. Increasing the number of <br />people of color on boards and commissions will require efforts in two areas: <br />? <br /> Recruitment - We know from past experience that word-of-mouth is the most powerful and <br />successful strategy we can use to increase the diversity of the applicant pools for the boards and <br />th <br />commissions. As the application deadline is just around the corner on September 7, now is the <br />time to reach out to people of color in your wards about applying for one or more of the 38 <br />positions to be filled. Interviews are scheduled for the first week in October. <br />? <br /> Selection – After completing applicant interviews, we recommend placing a higher value on <br />racial and ethnic diversification when discussing selection criteria and making appointments to <br />the boards and commissions. <br /> <br />Thank you all for your continued support and work on this important Council priority. Once the staff <br />team has completed its work on prioritizing the action plan items and estimated the funding needed for <br />implementation, we will find time in a Council worksession early this fall to provide you with a mid-year <br />update on the action plan and ask for further input. If you have any questions or concerns please contact <br />Lauren Chouinard at 682-5663. <br /> <br />Race Goal Staff Team: <br /> <br />Angel Jones – Interim City Manager <br />Lauren Chouinard – Human Resource Manager <br />Greg Rikhoff – Human Rights Program Manager <br />Jason Mak – Manager, Office of Diversity and Equity <br />Francisco Gutierrez – Library Assistant <br />Lynne Reeves – Police Technical Services Division Manager <br />Page of 2 2 <br />
