Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Advisory Board

About the Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Advisory (IDEA) Board

In 2019, the Town of Brighton, with the approval of the Town Council, appointed a community board to assist the Town in developing a plan that will foster diversity, inclusivity, equity and cultural competency in Town operations. This Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Action Plan (IDEA Plan) will assist all stakeholders within the Brighton community in meeting the community's core values of inclusion and diversity. The IDEA Board members have a variety of backgrounds and will play an integral role in developing the IDEA Plan, reviewing recommended best practices and identifying other steps as an ongoing plan of action, as necessary.

Scope of Work

The scope of work that the Brighton Town Board asked the IDEA Board to undertake is as follows:

Develop an IDEA Plan for the Town and review Town policies and procedures in a comprehensive manner as they relate to best practices in matters of inclusion, diversity and equity.

Implement the IDEA Plan to support the Town in fostering diversity, inclusivity, equity and cultural competency in Town operations and to assist all stakeholders in the Brighton community in meeting the community’s core value of inclusion and diversity.
