A Resolution Adopting the Diversity Statement
Overview:
It is a tradition in Oak Park for the Village Board of Trustees to reaffirm the
diversity statement after each election. This is done at the first meeting in
which the newly elected are sworn into office. This statement has been
updated to add language that acknowledges Native Americans, and language
that reflects the current DEI journey Oak Park is embarking on. The Diversity,
equity, and inclusion statement is also translated into Spanish.
