Equity in Action
On November 2017, Fairfax County adopted the One Fairfax Policy, a framework, or lens, used to consider equity in decision-making and in the development of policies, programs and services. One Fairfax serves as a dynamic force to ensure racial and social equity throughout the County and helps county leaders look intentionally, comprehensively and systematically at barriers that may be creating gaps in opportunity.
Recently, One Fairfax provided the framework for a comprehensive set of recommendations developed by the Chairman’s Task Force on Equity and Opportunity
The Chairman’s Task Force was convened to leverage the insights, experiences, professional networks, and industry and institutional understanding that exists within our community to better understand the root causes of inequity and developed recommendations for accelerating the county’s progress towards becoming One Fairfax.
