The Town of Shelburne has formed an Equity and Diversity Committee. Now inviting Community members to join!

VISION STATEMENT: The Town of Shelburne recognizes that historical and ongoing structures and systems in our nation, state, and community maintain and continue forms of injustice and oppression.

POLICY: The Town of Shelburne is actively committed to ensuring and sustaining equity, anti-racism, anti-bias, and belonging for all people in our community.  Website: https://www.shelburnevt.org/519/Equity-Diversity-Task-Force

WHO: We’re looking for 9 members of our community with diverse perspectives, identities, roles and a passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion work.

WHAT: The Equity & Diversity Committee will do the following:
• Locate and apply for grants
• Recruit and approve consultants
• Lead the search for relevant resources
• Develop ongoing strategies to support the Select Board to move forward in meeting Shelburne’s vision and policy
• Engage the greater Shelburne community
Participation on the Committee will require approximately 4-6 hours per month.

WHY: As humans, our brains are wired for bias. This means that we have to be intentional and systematic about welcoming diversity and establishing equity and inclusion in our community.
