If you are interested in joining the ESD 112 Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Committee  we ask you to first discuss your interest with your supervisor. Committee members are asked to commit to attending monthly meetings.

Our hope is that this committee is represented by all ESD 112 departments, varying years of experience, and a range of job titles and responsibilities. We may have more interested employees than we have positions to fill.

There will be opportunities for ESD employees to engage in other activities that support the committee. If you have interest in supporting this work but cannot commit full time to the committee and want to be involved in select projects or initiatives, please let us know.
