Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan

A guiding document to promote community engagement and participation to increase the level of citizen input, feedback and interest in organizational employment opportunities.

The City Council’s Goals for fiscal year 2016-17 stated that for providing employee development and a supportive work environment, staff will “develop an agency workforce diversity and inclusion policy.” Then again in its goals for fiscal year 2017-18 they included an objective to “increase the level of community engagement by means of enhancing communication and participation.” It states that together, staff and council will evaluate current engagement activities and processes to determine strategies and the effectiveness of each outreach effort made.

Collectively, the Madras elected officials have communicated their interest in prioritizing focus on community outreach efforts to ensure that Madras’ ethnically diverse populations are represented both in the organizational workplace, as well as in its policy and decision-making processes.

The City of Madras' Diversity & Inclusion Action Plan is a guiding document that provides support for the City going forward in this effort. This action plan was adopted by the Madras City Council in July 2017.
