Organization Description
The Economic Development Committee’s mission is to create a diverse and vibrant economy built on quality jobs and employment centers, along with a supportive educational and research system. The committee works in concert with other committees, boards, and economic development organizations to advise the council on ways to attract new enterprises and maintain a diverse and vibrant economy. To this end, the committee provides guidance and policy recommendations to the City Council, educates the community about economic initiatives, and collaborates with regional municipalities around economic issues. The committee generally meets monthly to discuss economic development issues and make recommendations. We are accepting applications through August 12th.
Organization's Approach to Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Inclusion

"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.
