BACKGROUND

Prior to establishing the current Equity Advisory Committee, the CCRPC Equity Leadership Team (ELT) was established in April 2021 as the result of the CCRPC hiring a consultant, The Creative Discourse Group, to address racial equity within its organization. ELT meeting materials and membership information can be found below.
