Department Equity Team Leads
Department Equity teams work to advance racial equity and social justice within their departments, and thereby within City structure as a whole, in compliance with Madison General Ordinance Chapter 39, federal and state laws, and the City’s RESJI goals. Departments work to complete individual agency plans that focus on key equity areas. Department Equity Teams are supported by Agency heads, Department of Civil Rights, the Racial Equity and Social Justice Initiative, and the Mayor.
