2022-2023 Strategic Goals

 

Strategic Priority Goals

Actively dismantle systems of oppression by:


• Advocating for and taking actions to create an environment of
equity and inclusion.


• Engaging in practices that are anti-racist, culturally and
linguistically responsive, and inclusive of diverse identities and
perspectives.

The MCEC DEI Committee will take action to create a
culture of equity and inclusion by exploring and
identifying critical needs, gaps, and/or areas of focus
within the organization by quarterly implicit bias focused
on these areas: disability, sexuality, race and age/weight.

The MCEC DEI Committee will read and reflect upon
quarterly selected text/podcast/movie identified with the
implicit bias test to assist organizations in becoming more
diverse, equitable, and inclusive, and will use the
information learned to develop recommendations for antiracist and equitable practices appropriate for MCEC.

Ensure up-to date information is shared with all members by:


• Leveraging technology to bring awareness to and provide
relevant resources/supports/PD to stakeholders regarding DEI
issues (across multiple, intersecting identities).

The MCEC DEI Committee will share monthly selected
recommendations for anti-racist and equitable books,
podcasts, journals identified to assist organizations,
professionals, and community stakeholders in becoming
more diverse, equitable, and inclusive in practice via
social media.
