Commitment to Diversity

In 2019 the Peoria Park District (PPD) Board of Trustees accepted a Commitment to Diversity that outlines a 4-pronged approach to advancing equity in all that the Peoria Park District does. 

 

4 pronged approach to advancing equity, include:

  • Ensure Equitable Access to Parks, Facilities, and Programming
  • Focus on Diversity of PPD Workforce
  • Encourage Diversity of PPD-Funded Contractors and Suppliers
  • Support Community-Wide Workforce Development

See the full Commitment to Diversity document here, as well as an update presented in March of 2021 here.
