Strengthening Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Within the Air District

Staff participated in a variety of internal events, activities, and trainings to strengthen DEI principles throughout our work, including events featuring labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, Chinese American author Amy Tan, the GLBT Historical Society, and environmental justice professional Bruce Strouble, Ph.D. We created our first formal Anti-Bullying Policy to ensure a workplace free from all forms of violence, intimidation and interpersonal abuse. We updated our Plan for Language Services to Limited English Proficient Populations with the goal of ensuring that all community members are able to meaningfully access our services and programs. Staff also participated in Cultural Competency Training to encourage integration of these values in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programming.
