SACOG’s Race, Equity, and Inclusion (REI) Initiative is an agency wide effort to implement SACOG’s board adopted Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP). The REAP includes measurable activities to align SACOG’s operations, programs, and board practices to the board’s adopted racial equity statement of change and commitment. The work is performed by SACOG staff from each resource group in the agency, consultant support, the REI working group, the SACOG board, and community stakeholders.
