Minnetonka's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Task Force will hold an online Community Conversation on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. The task force is charged with working collaboratively to engage the community, broaden policy outcomes and respond to the community’s needs, views and expectations.
The task force began its work earlier this year and has worked with a consultant to reach a listening phase in its work, which includes the Minnetonka Community DEI Survey. The survey, along with the Dec. 9 meeting, will help the task force recommend short and long-term goals and actions for the city council to consider and adopt.
