It is great that we are paying attention to equity and inclusion as well as climate action but what the heck is going on with that aspirational goal?

"With the help of a consultant, the Parks Department developed an aspirational goal stating, "Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation is an *** industry *** leader in equity and inclusion, where all people feel safe and are provided equitable access to engage in parks, arts and recreation services.""

Olympia Parks is not an industry. Do a Google search of the definition of "industry". Did the consultants repurpose an aspiration from some private sector customer they were doing work for.

The appropriate version of this aspirational statement should be something like this,

"Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation is a *** public sector *** leader in equity and inclusion, where all people feel safe and are provided equitable access to engage in parks, arts and recreation services."

Hoping this helps.
