This Draft Statement of Inclusion ("Statement") reflects a commitment on behalf of the City of Sacramento Mayor's Office for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (MOFIE) to embed diversity and inclusion into the DNA of our organization. The Statement serves as a set of guiding principles that underlie the development and implementation of MOFIE's policies, programs, and practices.
In January 2017, a Cultural Equity Task Force, established to ensure that the policies and procedures of the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission (SMAC) lead to grant awards that reflect the rich diversity (demographic, disciplinary, and cultural) of the population of Sacramento, convened for the first time. Sixteen members of the public were appointed to serve on the Task Force. After six months, their work concluded with the adoption of the Arts Commission's new Cultural Equity Statement.
This Statement of Inclusion is a fork of SMAC's new Cultural Equity Statement.
