Breckenridge’s Social Equity Advisory Commission, the first of its kind in Summit County, has spent its first few meetings discussing goals and setting its definition for terms like equity.
Town spokesperson Haley Littleton explained that the town hired The Equity Project as a consultant to help the newly appointed commissioners get started. Similar to other town commissions, Littleton said the new commission will take care of housekeeping items, such as going over rules and regulations of the commission and assigning a chair and co-chair. Mission and vision statements also will be defined.
As a next step, The Equity Project will take feedback from the community listening session the town hosted in January to come up with a plan for what the commission can prioritize, Littleton said. As a formal advisory commission, Littleton said the group eventually will come up with recommendations for the Breckenridge Town Council.
