DIVERSITY: CREATING A PUBLIC VISION FOR THE NORTHWEST SUBURBS

Administrative Staff from the cities of:
• Brooklyn Center • Brooklyn Park • Crystal

April 10 -11, 1992
Brooklyn Park City Hall
As Minnesota's communities and workforce become more culturally
and economically diverse, new opportunities and problems have
arisen as cities and schools attempt to respond to the challenge.
• Changing the behaviors, values and attitudes of employees, as
they serve a changing client base, is a major issue that both
cities and school districts must face.
This retreat is the strategic first step in a long -term joint
initiative designed to create a public vision about diversity in
YOUR community! By working together a stronger message is
conveyed to citizens, staff and stakeholders that the Northwest
area is strongly committed to positive change.
Be Part Of This Collaborative Approach And:
• learn about your changing community (what is and will be)
• learn about diversity in the workplace
• focus on what you want your unit of government to model
• develop a joint action plan for the Northwest suburbs and an
individualized version for your city or school
The agenda for the retreat is provided. Details and official
registration information will be sent to each of you.
The Northwest area's future depends in large part on its vision
for a positive multicultural social and economic environment. As
an elected official, your participation in this collaborative
effort is key. Help make diversity a positive reality throughout
• the Northwest suburbs!
