Welcome: Equity and Human Rights Home
The City of Eugene has launched the City of Eugene’s Diversity and Equity Strategic Plan (DESP). This five-year plan, initiated by the City Council Committee on Race, is the product of hard work by many inside and outside the organization, including the City's Diversity Advisory Council, diversity committees in each City department, the University of Oregon Community Planning Workshop and many community members who gave their time, talent and energy to this process. The dedication of these individuals has resulted in this set of practical guidelines that will support the broad range of City efforts to meet the needs of a diverse and changing organization and community.
This current plan has been approved by City Manager Jon Ruiz and his executive team and began July 1, 2009. This plan is a guideline—a living document infused with the wisdom of many members of our organization and community. The launch of the City of Eugene’s Diversity and Equity Strategic Plan (DESP) marks an exciting milestone in our ongoing work to meet the diversity and human rights goals and needs of the City organization.
