Community conversations with the Mayor and City Council members about Racial Equity

Mayor Jacob Frey listening to residents at 2018 Community Connections Conference round table discussion

Facilitated by the Mayor, the closing session will bring conference attendees and City Council members together for round table discussions about the City’s Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan (SREAP).

This action plan is used to communicate City priorities around workforce, spending, data usage, community engagement and policy. The SREAP is a central document that policymakers can refer to, with clear goals, objectives and metrics by which to measure progress. Download SREAP goals...

Neighborhood organizations can choose to display information in a fully staffed exhibit space or a stand-alone, shared resource table as part of NCR's Neighborhood Showcase.
