Lakeshore DEI Advisory Council

Mission

Our mission is to strengthen relationships, break barriers, and create mutual support in meeting the education, employment, and community needs of people in the Lakeshore Area.

We will carry out the mission of the Lakeshore DEI Advisory Council by: 

  1. Identifying the needs of people in the Lakeshore Area surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  2. Recommending strategies to meet identified needs and serve the community.
  3. Supporting each other to serve the community and promote partner organizations.
