NEIWPCC, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Hudson River Estuary Management Program (Estuary Program), is inviting bids for staff training in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) and development of an internal 5-year DEIJ action plan.
NEIWPCC and the Estuary Program staff have completed training in “DEIJ 101” and have worked on increasing their understanding of the intersection of DEIJ with their programmatic work. In addition, the Estuary Program developed an internal DEIJ action plan for 2021-2025 and has been tracking progress toward implementation. They are seeking proposals for developing an updated 5-year DEIJ action plan that will engage all levels of staff and provide strategic direction for internal work to improve the program’s learning environment, staff skills, policies, practices, and goals to be more inclusive; as well as for their external work to build trust, collaboration, and equitable partnerships with community partners representing the diversity of the Hudson Valley’s population and geography.
Applicants must submit bids by October 15, 2024 via email to NEIWPCC Environmental Analyst, Emily Bialowas.
