The Equity Commission serves as an advisory body that, at the request of city staff or officials, reviews city practices, policies, or procedures to provide recommendations based on their analyses of whether the presented information may create or support inequity, including what community(ies) may be impacted and how those impacts may emerge.
As a collective body of nine Renton residents, the commission is the embodiment of applying an equity lens with the commitment of volunteers willing to share and represent their unique viewpoints and experiences to foster a culture of equity and inclusion in all of the city.
The Executive Services Department supports the operations of the commission and provides continuous coordination with the Mayor’s Office and City Council on behalf of the commission.
