Kitsap County Advisory Group Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Resources

As a Kitsap County advisory group member or staff coordinator, we are grateful for your commitment to providing public input and supporting county programs and resources! These Diversity, Equity and Inclusion resources were created specifically for Kitsap County advisory groups that make funding, policy and planning recommendations, host public presentations and engage deeply in our communities to help ensure meetings and public interactions are inclusive, engaging and productive in an environment that promotes mutually respectful conversations.

Resources will help you:

Develop a basic understanding of race, intersectionality and equity, and be able to apply those concepts (along with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) to the group's purpose/mission.
Gain a broader understanding of the role of public engagement in advancing equitable outcomes and ensure full participation for marginalized people.
Learn actionable ways to identify and reduce bias and institutional barriers.
