Join us for the Project Launch Event on 3/7!

What does an equitable and inclusive Bozeman feel like to you?

That’s just one of the questions we’ll ask folks to engage with on Tuesday, March 7 at 11 am at our Belonging in Bozeman Equity & Inclusion planning launch event!

What is it? A celebratory event – think part info session, part social gathering – to collectively launch this year’s upcoming Equity and Inclusion planning process with the city's Belonging in Bozeman team and Steering Committee, Tuesday, March 7, at 11 am MST at The Bozeman Public Safety Center –Community Room, 901 North Rouse, Bozeman, MT 59715 (Zoom attendance option also available.)

What’s the planning process? The plan will tell the story of what equity and belonging mean in Bozeman; engage and involve city staff, partner organizations, and community members; establish goals, actions, and accountability based on equity indicators and data; and create a framework for implementation and measuring equity and inclusion in our work moving forward. The City has already begun this work and needs community participation to make it happen!

Why should you come to the kick-off? You’ll learn about the process, hear from our key players, find out how you and your community can be a part of making Bozeman a place where everyone feels like they belong.

What else will we do at the kick-off? We’ll have time to socialize, enjoy refreshments, and be in community together. This process is about co-creating a more equitable and inclusive City of Bozeman, so it won’t be just a meeting – it’ll be an opportunity to gather together and enjoy each other’s company.
