Consortium

The Equity and Community Consortium (ECC) is an information, resource sharing, leadership and coordination forum for agencies and jurisdictions that provide governmental and public services in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area.

 GOALS: 

The main goals of the ECC are: 

1. To create a safe and supportive space for individuals and agencies to share, learn, build trust and continue elevating their personal and professional equity leadership. 

2. To develop and share information about equity and service to our community and to create opportunities for the mutual benefit of the participating agencies and the people that they serve. 

3. To share experience, progress and challenges associated with each agency’s goals to improve and enhance internal working environments and creating more equitable workplaces. 

4. To improve equity with respect to each agency’s goods, services, bids, and employment, and to build capacity for each agency to engage in equity work. 

5. To proactively communicate about the importance of equity in our organizations and the community and stand together against hate and bias. 

6. To work together while also allowing each agency to make informed, independent action-oriented decisions relying on information and idea exchange and mutual support that is created by the ECC.
