Thank you to all candidates who applied and expressed their desire to be part of Kenmore’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force. We appreciate your time and patience as the City exercised diligence in the selection process.   

In November 2021, the City of Kenmore advertised and performed outreach city-wide, utilizing various channels and social media outlets to recruit for the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force. The talent pool yielded 28 qualified and diverse candidates and was comprised of individuals from a mixed set of demographics and age ranges (16 years up to 90 years).  

Last month, Kenmore’s City Council identified and seated the inaugural DEI Task Force. Those selected were announced at the January 10, 2022, City of Kenmore’s Council Meeting. We are very excited to move forward with the City and our inaugural group of DEI Task Force members who will be helping us analyze, revise, and refine processes so as to assist us in creating and implementing a DEI policy that will guide the City in how we make decisions, perform our work, and deliver service.  

The City of Kenmore is always looking for diverse community members to participate on boards and commissions, listening sessions, focus groups, and other outreach activities. If you remain interested, please visit www.kenmorewa.gov/DEI to view updates or sign up for email updates.
