"Diversity, inclusion, and belonging are core values of the City of South Burlington. Our community will be stronger as our employees reflect our demographics and our neighbors see themselves in our Team. Some of the DEIB initiatives and programs we have implemented include:
• Being a member of the State of Vermont Office of Racial Equity's IDEAL coalition. (IDEAL stands for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Action, Leadership). IDEAL is a coalition of Vermont municipalities dedicated to advancing racial and other forms of equity across the state through shared learning and tangible action.
• Original community to sign the Vermont Declaration of Inclusion - supporting the enactment and furtherance of plans, policies, programs, procedures, and relevant training that support and advance the intent and spirit of the Declaration.

Organization Description
The Committee on Common Areas for Dogs shall be defined as any facet of community life pertaining to the interests, health and safety of dogs and citizens, including their presence in parks, on trails and in open spaces as deemed appropriate, by approval of the South Burlington City Council. Our work and recommendations include activities that align with city priorities, such as climate change, equity, a welcoming and walkable community, as well as collaborating and engaging with others. The CCAD is striving to ensure our focus addresses the interests and needs of dogs, dog guardians, and all members of our community. Our work focuses on identifying existing resources and challenges in addressing the current and future impact of dogs as members of—and visitors in—our community. To achieve this, our committee is seeking information from experts and municipalities nationwide on the environmental and social impact of dogs, along with ideas and solutions. We have developed several methods of gathering data and input from our community, which has provided valuable information.
We are accepting applications through August 12th.Organization's Approach to Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Inclusion
