COMMUNITY PROMISE ON EQUITY
WE will ensure just and fair inclusion where all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.
The City of Tigard is dedicated to doing the right thing by ensuring dignity, respect, and inclusion for all, and our mission, vision, and community promise embrace equity as central to all we do. We aim to create a community where every person feels a sense of belonging, regardless of any individual identity. Our commitment to equity means that we work to eliminate the barriers that prevent people from accessing decision-making processes and addressing social and economic disparities.
We recognize that championing equity entails a focused initiative to address systemic challenges tied to race and color, while fostering a culture of inclusivity within our workspace and the broader community. Therefore, we are resolute to continuously monitor and improve the racial diversity representation of our workforce, ensuring equitable access for all employees, and promoting diversity and inclusion in the greater community.
We believe diversity and inclusion are essential components for creating a thriving city. Our mission is to ensure that everyone in our community is empowered with the necessary resources and opportunities they need to flourish. We hold firm that every person has inherent value and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We will continue to strive towards this promise and commitment every day.
